Diogo Jota performed brightly for Liverpool in an exciting Europa League battle against Toulouse, receiving high praise from Sky Sports pundit Jay Bothroyd.
Despite Liverpool’s controversial 3-2 loss, Jota’s late introduction added an extra level of excitement to the game.
The 26-year-old attacker, who was brought on in the 80th minute, proved his goal-scoring prowess by finding the net in the 89th minute with a stunning run through the Toulouse defense.
Bothroyd praised Jota’s performance on Sky Sports News, emphasizing the Portuguese forward’s ability to change the momentum even in a difficult encounter.
“I keep getting it wrong!! There’s light for Liverpool now,” he said, as per the Sky Sports.
“Another great goal. Jota was so direct, he’s glided past a defender and side-footed into the goal.
“That’s what they’ve been missing. I think Jota is underrated.”
The match may have ended in disappointment for Liverpool, but Jota’s late heroics did not go unnoticed, earning admiration from pundits and Liverpool fans.
