Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has rejected claims from Alan Shearer that he's a diver.

Shearer attacked Jota over the way he won a penalty in Liverpool's recent win against Newcastle.

But Jota has since responded, stating: "Listen, of course I saw some comments from ex-players and people who are paid to talk about situations.

"The only thing I can say is even the keeper said it was a touch - and that I didn't feel the conditions to stay up. So that's it. I would rather score a goal. That's what I like to do - score goals. That's all I have to say."

And Jota has backup, as Toon goalkeeper Martin Dubravka stated: "I tried to pull my arms and not catch him. I felt the contact but I don't know what else I should do. In the end it was a penalty, so there's no point in arguing with them."
