Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has dubbed Diogo Jota 'the ghost'.

Jota is back to his goalscoring best ahead of their Carabao Cup semifinal second-leg at Fulham tonight.

Jones told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm at the point now where I call him 'the ghost' because he's one of them where you think he's not involved in the game, and then he'll pick up the ball and it'll turn into a goal!

"I've been around a lot of world-class strikers from my Academy days into the U21s and then the [senior] team, and he's right up there. When the game isn't going his way, it's quite easy for a striker to not be on the ball and not impact the game, but Jots is always in the game.

"Even when, say, his touch is a little bit loose and it's not going right, the ball will bounce around the box and it's a Jota goal, and you think, 'Only Jots could do that!'"

Jones added: "To have him in the team is amazing. He's a huge help, he always runs and when his confidence is the way it is now, there's no doubt that in every single game he's going to get goals."
