Jurgen Klopp saluted world-class Diogo Jota after the Portugal forward fired Liverpool into the League Cup final against Chelsea with a double in Thursday’s 2-0 win at Arsenal.  Jota put Liverpool on course for Wembley with a first half strike and he clinched their berth with a late second goal in the semi-final second leg. 


Klopp’s side will face Chelsea in the final on February 27. Jota’s 13th and 14th club goals this season underlined his value at a time when Liverpool are without Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane due to the African Cup of Nations. 


“We scored two wonderful goals, Diogo Jota is on fire. We were completely convinced when he arrived at the club he would help us massively,” Klopp said of the former Wolves player. “Since he is here he has made another step, he has turned into a really world class striker.”
