Diogo Jota etched his name into Liverpool folklore by netting the first goal under Arne Slot’s management during a match against Ipswich at Portman Road.
After a lackluster first half, Liverpool returned to the pitch with renewed vigor, significantly upping their performance after the break. Jota, who had missed a golden opportunity just before the hour mark, quickly redeemed himself.
He made no mistake this time, slotting the ball into the Ipswich net from close range, thanks to a precise pass from Mo Salah across the penalty area.
This is the kind of clinical finishing we’ve come to expect from Jota, and now, he can proudly claim the honour of scoring Liverpool’s first goal in the Arne Slot era.
