On his first Liverpool start for four and a half months, it was no surprise to see Diogo Jota tire in the second half at Crystal Palace.
Prior to Saturday night's goalless affair at Selhurst Park, the Portugal international had played just 77 minutes since suffering a serious calf injury in the closing stages of the 1-0 defeat of Manchester City way back on October 16.
Another 71 minutes were added to the tank in south London over the weekend as the former Wolves man provided a reminder of what he can offer with his tigerish pressing, selfless running and unquestionable work ethic.
