Diogo Jota proud of 'really special' Wolves hat-trick

Diogo Jota was delighted with his hat-trick for Wolves' 4-3 win Leicester City.

Jota has enjoyed some memorable afternoons in a Wolves shirt and the stunning victory was another one for the collection.

He said, “This is the Premier League. Every team believes until the end. We were 2-0 up at the break and after five minutes it was 2-2, so it was bad for us in that moment, but in a game like that you feel the greatest moment.

“Both teams could create chances and reach the final third very easily, that's why there was the amount of goals today. You have to be always at your best because the other teams have quality and they can score as well.

“This is the kind of game I watched as a kid and now being part of it is a good moment for me. Like I say, in the end, when we win it is the best feeling in the world."

On his hat-trick, he added: “It's really special, mainly a hat-trick, I know it's not happened in a long time. This is the second of my career, so it's like giving your team the win, it feels very good."
