Michael Owen that Mohamed Salah owes Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota a huge debt of gratitude after last night. 

Jota needs thanking

Salah scored a brace in Liverpool’s 5-1 demolition of Porto yesterday, as they picked up an impressive victory in the Champions League.

It will now be interesting to see whether Klopp opts to start Jota against Manchester City on Sunday or opts to go with Firmino.

Firmino did come off the bench to score twice in an impressive cameo, but the Brazilian’s starting place is no longer as assured as it once was due to the consistent excellence of Jota’s displays.
