'Don't know how he's even managed to do that': BBC pundit hails 79th-minute Liverpool moment in derby

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has been praised by BBC Sport pundit Alan Hutton following his impressive goal against Everton on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were utterly rampant against their Merseyside neighbouts, running out 4-1 winners at Goodison Park.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Mohamed Salah netted the second 10 minutes later.

Although Toffees winger Demarai Gray halved the deficit in the 38th minute, Salah got his second just after the hour mark.

Jota then capped off the rout with another high-quality goal on their rivals’ patch.

The 24-year-old ran onto Andrew Robertson’s ball into the box before rifling a fierce effort into the roof of Jordan Pickford’s net.

And Hutton, commentating on BBC Radio 5 live, was blown away by Jota’s effort and how he created space for himself in the box.

“Outstanding goal – well worked,” he said (1/12, 21:54).

“Andy Robertson picks a ball up and Diogo Jota makes a very intelligent run.

“He manages to take a lovely touch away from the defender, I don’t know how he’s even managed to do that.

“Great first touch and he just blasts it, Jordan Pickford goes down a bit early but that touch is sublime.”

Jota now has four goals from his last three Premier League games and nine for the season.

Liverpool remain third in the table but are now seven points clear of fourth-placed West Ham.
