Liverpool striker Jota overwhelmed by reaction to debut goal

Liverpool winger Diogo Jota was delighted at getting his first goal for the club.

The Portuguese attacker signed from Wolves and got to come on against Arsenal in the Premier League.

He got the third goal in a 3-1 win for the Premier League champions, and he was amazed at the reaction of all his teammates to his goal.

"It means a lot," Jota told Liverpoolfc.com post-match of the reaction.

"When you arrive at a team that are world champions, you always try to adapt as quickly as possible.

"The way they received me is exceptional. I just thank them for the way they have received me. I think we can build up from here and do great things in the future.

"Obviously I could have done better, I had a couple of chances before. But I'm happy with this – getting my first goal in my first game [at Anfield].

"And I helped the team seal the result, that is the most important thing, that we got the three points."
