Jota’s brace keeps Liverpool in title hunt

Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool are not breathing down Manchester City’s necks yet, but the Reds remain in the hunt for the Premier League title after Diogo Jota’s (above) double beat Leicester 2-0 at Anfield.


Victory for Klopp’s men cut City’s advantage at the top of the table to nine points, but Liverpool still have a game in hand to come on the English champions. “I don’t think they smell our breath already,” said Klopp. “But we just try to win football matches.” 



With Mohamed Salah left on the bench from the start after his exertions at the Africa Cup of Nations and Sadio Mane still celebrating his success with Senegal, Jota took centre stage to continue his excellent season.
