Diogo Jota scored twice for Liverpool in their 4-0 win against Southampton as the Reds ran rampant to secure the 3 points.
The Portuguese has made a starting spot his own, and Jurgen Klopp 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 Sadio Mane, and he continues to grow from strength to strength.
