Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praise forward Diogo Jota for is performance against Arsenal in the Carabao cup.

The Reds defeated Gunners 2-0 in the second leg of the Carabao cup as the both goals came from the Portuguese.

Speaking about Jota after the game Klopp said: “Mentality mixed up with quality was the reason we signed him because the way he played at Wolves, the yards he had to make there, the runs he had to make, the defending he had to do, but he was still always able to produce some really exciting stuff.

“That was the reason we signed him. Now, in our kit, it is really nice to see. He didn’t only step up tonight, yes he scored two goals but he is incredibly important for us, so the mix of his skills is really exciting. He is in a good shape as well and long may it continue.

On winning the competition Klopp said: “Look, you play a final, it’s pretty likely that we will face an outstandingly strong team – that’s what happened now. Nevertheless, we wanted to qualify for it, so that’s what we did. Wembley is a special place – how we all know.

“There’s a lot of games to play until then, so it’s not now that you just play next week or whatever. There are a lot of games to play, we will see where we are then. But we really put a lot of effort in this competition and we really wanted to go through. So when you go through, when you’re in the final, there’s absolutely no reason to be part of a final if you don’t want to win it. We want to win it but we know how difficult it will be.”
