Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has heaped praise on striker Diogo Jota after their FA Cup quarter-final success.

The Reds booked passage into the semi-finals on Sunday thanks to a narrow success over the Championship outfit.

Jota scored in the second half to set up a mouth watering semi-final against Manchester City next month at Wembley.

Asked about Jota post-game, Klopp stated: "What a player, what a boy. This goal was exceptional. It was a good cross from Kostas, a good ball, but he had to stretch the body to reach it.

"Scoring that goal, obviously massive and it just shows, after the injury he needed a little bit to get back on track but now I hope he is really coming back healthy from the national team because he looks like he is back again."
