Diogo Jota News

After taking the wicket of Jamie Smith on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test against England at Lord's on Friday, Mohammed Siraj honoured the late Diogo Jota after the Liverpool and Portugal footballer passed away in a fatal car crash last Thursday.    

Mohammed Siraj is known for using footballer's celebrations with his favourite being Cristiano Ronaldo's trademark 'Siuu' celebration.

Roberto Firmino sewed up a crucial three points eight minutes later, squeezing a shot under the Arsenal goalkeeper again after the hosts had twice failed to clear the ball.

The win moved Liverpool onto 51 points from 23 games, with leaders City having played one game more, while Leicester’s poor season continued as they remain languishing down in 12th in the standings. 

Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita still away on African Nations Cup duty, came under early pressure and Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette hit the woodwork with a free kick. 

In a thriller at Anfield, a weakened Liverpool side came back from the brink to beat Leicester City on penalties after a 3-3 draw, setting up a semi-final against Arsenal. 

It was Jota who scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the game. Seven minutes later, Mane got on the scoring sheet.

Defending champions Liverpool still moved a point clear at the top of the table with 21 points from 10 games while Tottenham have 20 points from nine.

Manchester City wasted an opportunity to take the lead, three minutes before the interval, when De Bruyne missed a penalty. Jurgen Klopp picked both Roberto Firmino with the in-form Diogo Jota in a very attacking lineup of Liverpool for the tie. Liverpool are third on 17 points after eight games with 11th-placed City on 12, having played a game fewer.

The victory saw Liverpool climb up to the top of the Premier League and equal a club record of 63 home league matches unbeaten. Liverpool handed a first league start to 23-year-old centre back Nate Phillips against David Moyes` well-drilled West Ham side. West Ham manager David Moyes was upset with the decision to award Mohamed Salah a penalty after his reaction to contact in the box.

Sheffield United, still looking for their first win of the season, went ahead in the 13th minute when Sander Berge netted from the penalty spot and could have increased their lead.

Victory at the Molineux Stadium will send Wolves through to their first FA Cup semi-final in 21 years.
