Diogo Jota paid tribute to Andy Robertson for his underappreciated role in helping to score Liverpool ’s 94th-minute winner
The winner sparked delirious celebrations in Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp pulling his hamstring after hurtling down the touchline to celebrate
Jota was quick to thank Robertson, who had given him a key piece of advice after Richarlison’s goal.
Jota:
"I remember Robbo telling me to go on because we normally play that long ball – to go on and believe, and you could feel that was already a good sign.
“We did that, we won the second ball, we played back, we played again in behind and I could intercept a pass and score the winner. It was amazing.”
Jota added: “It doesn’t require too much thinking. I think the moment there that I believed I could intercept was key because I started running in behind and I saw their full-back could pass the ball back.
“That was the key moment for me and then it was just, ‘Make sure you control it right and you hit the target,’ and hopefully it’s in – and it was!”
