Liverpool striker Diogo Jota: We're not closing out games; it feels bad

Liverpool striker Diogo Jota admits they've failed to finish off teams this season.

The Reds have been poor this season and have thrown away two leads late in games in their last two matches.

Jota told the club's official website : "We all felt it [the draw with Newcastle] like a defeat, speaking for me, but I think it was pretty much everyone's feeling as well.

"For example, the last two games at half-time we were winning 1-0, like Wolves. But the difference against Wolves was that we won at the end.

"In these two games we conceded, we played not-so-good second halves and we conceded. Then everything feels bad.

"Now this is the final third of the season and we know the results are the most important thing, so we need to avoid being so passive in the second halves because we need the results."
