52′ Liverpool 2-1 West Ham

How important is it to keep Jota fit this season?

So often he is in the right place at the right time, and it is precisely his goals that he often misses when he is not there.

Fair play to Slot for naming a strong squad tonight and resisting the urge to play some of the youngsters. With Jota up front, and playing close to Darwin Nunez, Liverpool are such a threat when they get forward.

Cody Gakpo also looked quite lively on the left side of the attack.

That second goal was a great piece of work from Jones in the build-up to the goal, and what a great pass he gave his team-mate.

You just knew Jota would do the rest. Clinical!
