Liverpool drew 1-1 with Athletico Bilbao today as they edged nearer to being ready for the Premier League season to begin.

Fans were welcomed back to Anfield and the return of Virgil van Dijk to the starting XI was the obvious draw for most Reds supporters.

However, it was also a chance to see a near full strength Liverpool XI go toe to toe with a good La Liga outfit. Harvey Elliott started and played well in midfield, while Naby Keita also showed flashes during his time on the pitch.

But it was the performance of Portuguese forward, Diogo Jota, that caught the attention of onlooking Liverpool fans on social media.

Reds fans loved what they saw today, and Twitter was full of comments praising the speedy forward. Here’s a look at what some fans had to say.
