Diogo Jota had a fabulous evening last night as he scored two goals to beat Arsenal and send Liverpool into the EFL Cup final at Wembley next month.

The Reds were the better side on Thursday night as they controlled Arsenal for much of the clash, with two goals being scored by the Portuguese without reply.

It was great to see Jota come to the fore last night.

He has been a top signing since arriving for Liverpool and this was perhaps his most important performance to date in a red (or yellow) shirt.
