It’s 10 months since Diogo Jota last scored a goal for Liverpool. The last time he found the back of the net for the Reds, he was cancelling out Kevin De Bruyne's early opener for Man City at the Etihad as Jurgen Klopp's side continued to chase an unprecedented quadruple.
A victory would have placed Liverpool in the driving seat in the Premier League title race. Instead, they had to settle for a 2-2 draw after twice coming from behind before missing out on the title by a solitary point on the final day of the season.
Looking back, it seems rather surreal that Jota wasn’t on the scoresheet at all in the final two months of the season, never mind the fact he has failed to score since, as the Reds’ quadruple hopes ended as a domestic cup double. That strike at the Etihad was his 21st goal of the campaign, with the Portuguese already enjoying the most prolific year of his career.
