Jota came off the bench to score within seconds against Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw.
However, he was disappointed to not score again to help his team get all the points.
He stated: “I think it’s just a coincidence. Obviously I love to score goals. I scored with my first touch today and obviously that gave the team a bit of momentum. I had two more chances, I think I could have given us the three points. Unfortunately, I couldn’t, and (it was) game on.”
On him and Kostas Tsimikas coming on and then combining for his header from a Tsimikas corner to equalize, he added: “I actually said to him, we were watching the cup goal from two or three years ago where he passed it to me, and we were on the touchline there and I was just saying, ‘Let’s do it now, recreate your assist, take the corner.’ It was a goal, it was one of those occasions where everything went right.
“But like I said, I’m not happy because I think we could have won.”
