Ex-Liverpool striker Crouch: Firmino will be worried about Jota

Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch says Roberto Firmino will be worried about Diogo Jota's form.

The Portuguese forward started ahead of Firmino against Atalanta and bagged himself a hat-trick in the 5-0 victory.

"Salah started through the middle and then drifted out wide and it's like they know that someone then needs to take that central position," Crouch told BT Sport.

"Jota did it fantastically and he's doing it on a number of occasions. He just looks so sharp. We never thought you could break up the front three with Firmino as well but if I'm him, I'm slightly worried."
