Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lavished praise on striker Diogo Jota yesterday.

The German was asked about Jota not being available often enough this season due to injury.

After a hard fought 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, Klopp also praised Jota's finishing.

Post-game, he stated: “The best finisher in this club is obviously Mo Salah with some distance. It is just super-cool to have Diogo back, he can play all three positions up front.

“It is as important that Cody Gakpo is back. He wasn't injured, but he was a little bit struggling. He is now fully back since three or four games. He is physically there, is extremely strong, keeps the ball and stuff like this, so that's really helpful as well.

“Yes, to have them all back and mix it up [is important] – to bring on Darwin [Nunez] and Mo today is a crazy situation. It didn't work out a little bit because of offsides, but it looked really dangerous, so now let's see how we start the next game.

“It is really cool to have Diogo back, not only because of the goal but as well because of the performance. It looked really good. Lucho [Diaz] played an incredible game on the right wing; he was, in the first half, nearly not to stop. It all helped.

“Wataru Endo, little bit a dip and now second half, wow – what a game. Very helpful, all of that."
