Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he's happy with Diogo Jota's form.

On the 11 occasions he has scored in all competitions, he has scored the first goal six times and only once have they not won when he has found the net.

However, with Mohamed Salah breaking a new record almost every match, Jota's achievements have been somewhat overshadowed.

“Diogo is an incredible player. Players underrated or under the radar, I don't know why you always ask me that because they are not under my radar," said Klopp.

“If people do that, how can I change that? Diogo is an exceptional player, Mo is an exceptional player, by the way Sadio Mane plays really good in the moment – he is just unlucky in the last moments.

“All of these boys have incredible quality and that's why they come into these positions and they come in these situations.

“Diogo has developed in the last few months a proper killer instinct, that's true.

“He is there in the moments, he is in the right spaces, he brings himself into good positions.

“I think his link-up play, especially on this half-left with Sadio, is exceptional and I really like watching it.

“He is still young and there is still really a lot to come from him but it's already good, so good for us."
