It was vintage Jota, the attacker picked up the ball on the edge of Everton’s box after Luis Diaz coolly slotted a backpass towards the feet of the striker, who then took the ball past Abdoulaye Doucoure and wrong-footed Jarrad Branthwaite.

Not only was this a fitting way for his final goal to pan out, but it also showed how important he was to the team, as it ended up being the derby day winner.

Jota smashed the ball into the centre of the net, leaving Jordan Pickford no chance to stop it from going in.

However, back in 2021, Jota once again proved his worth when Jurgen Klopp’s men were taking on Arsenal.

However, the pressure from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is enough for Nuno Mendes to make a mistake and pass the ball straight to Jota’s feet.

The striker picked the ball up and then sent Gabriel to the shops after he tried to block his shot with Jota then taking the ball around the keeper and slotting it into the back of the net.

He then takes the ball down on his chest, touches it with his knee and then sets himself up for a half-volley which goes straight into the back of the net.
