Liverpool forward Diogo Jota admitted it is difficult to explain what happened when Manchester City took the lead at the start of the second half before scoring two further goals to complete a 4-1 victory.
It was Jota running onto a Trent Alexander-Arnold through ball that got Liverpool in behind the City backline and allowed the 26-year-old international time to hold off Manuel Akanji to set up Mohamed Salah for the opening goal of the game. Julian Alvarez equalised inside ten minutes after being assisted by Jack Grealish to restore parity heading into half-time.
In what the Portugal international has dubbed the decisive moment, Kevin De Bruyne converted a Riyad Mahrez cross inside a minute of action resuming before Ilkay Gundogan fired in a third seven minutes later. Jota has since attempted to explain what went wrong.
