2 goals, 100% successful take-ons & more: Diogo Jota's MOTM performance vs So'ton in 8 key stats

Squawka @ Twitter

 was the star of the night at Anfield when 

The Portuguese forward found the net twice, including a second-minute strike to open the score.

His impact was not limited to the two goals, however: here are some key numbers from his performances, as per Squawka:

What Jota was doing before scoring Southampton brace - revealed

's latest victory, bagging himself a brace and the love of LFC fans. 

His performance makes sense considering that the attacker was honing his skills before the game - virtually!

Jota was participating in the FIFA 22 tournament, and international qualifier on Saturday morning. 

Sadly, he had to cut his run short in Round 4 as he had to play an actual game against 

Here's a look at the hilarious conversation Jota had with his opponent against whom he forfeited his FIFA game:

 as the Reds ran rampant to secure the 3 points. 

The Portuguese has made a starting spot his own, and 

 addressed Jota's decision to join LFC despite high competition for places last season. 

The gaffer said in his post-match press conference: "Yeah but it’s the right decision. 

"When you hypothetically talk to a player and he says, ‘Where will I play?’ – you decide about that with your performance, by the way, it’s not written in stone that we always start with the same line-up, all other players are really good in our squad as well. 

"That should not be a surprise. But in the end it’s about making 35 really good games instead of getting somehow through a season and playing 50 games. 

"It’s completely normal that you have to get rested and all these kinds of things. For these moments you need more than 11 players in the squad – we all know that – and you need more than three strikers, even when you play with three strikers. 

"That’s what we have, thank God. He was smart enough to see that and that’s why he made the move and that’s why he can contribute so well."

Jota has notched up 7 league goals this season already, on par with 

, and he continues to grow from strength to strength.
