Diogo Jota scored a fantastic hat-trick in Liverpool's 5-0 win over Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Reds were totally dominant in Italy and are now top of Group D after winning all three of their matches.

Jota was given a start ahead of Roberto Firmino and the Portugal forward did not disappoint, breaking the deadlock after 16 minutes.

He then made 2-0 with a thumping strike at the near post before Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane scored just after the break.

The hat-trick was completed for Jota after 54 minutes when he collected Sadio Mane's pass and went around Marco Sportiello.

Jurgen Klopp's men will next face Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.

Atalanta are now third in Group D, equal on points with second-placed Ajax.
