Wolves striker Jota backs Liverpool to claim Premier League title

Wolves striker Diogo Jota says it would be fair to crown Liverpool champions without finishing the season.

There are concerns the current season will have to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

With the Reds 25 points clear at the top, Jota thinks they should be given the Premier League title.

The Portuguese attacker told Mail Online: "This question is very complicated. In case we have the misfortune of not being able to end the season, I think that few people would oppose this.

"Of course, there are always rival clubs that could be against that, but I think 95 per cent of the people would agree. For me they would be fair champions.

"Even though we lost both games, we were a small step away from doing something different in both games, but this year, in addition to having a very fluid style of play, they are very strong and have had a bit of luck as well, which it takes to be a champion."
