  • 'No Idea Where His Limit Is' Jurgen Klopp Praises Liverpool Hero After Leicester Win

'No idea where his limit is' - Jurgen Klopp praises Liverpool hero after Leicester win

Diogo Jota celebrates for Liverpool

Reds boss welcomes Mo Salah return but can't stop purring about striker partner.

Jurgen Klopp says he does not believe Diogo Jota has even reached his peak yet after he scored twice to help Liverpool beat Leicester.

Jota has taken a key role for the Reds in the absence of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who have both been away at the Africa Cup of Nations for a month.

They are now back at the club, although Jota once again took centre stage as he bagged both both in a comfortable 2-0 success at Anfield.
"He is obviously in a goalscoring moment which makes it incredibly helpful and in the absence of Mo and Sadio it is extremely helpful," Klopp said of Jota.
"We knew he was good, but now we have no idea where his limit is or where he can go and I'm not sure he is already there."

Salah nearly made a spectacular return to the action for Liverpool and could have had a hat-trick despite only coming off the subsitute bench just before the hour.

"What quality he has," Klopp purred. "I think the first situation was incredible. The first move was genius: the defender slipped and he walked away, unfortunately Kasper (Schmeichel) is not a bad goalie and he made an incredible save.
"That's just Mo. He had had about 35 minutes, it was the ideal time to bring him on and we can use it.
"We played a lot of football in the first 55 minutes and that is tiring for the opponents.
"When Mo comes on he brings a different dimension and we used that."
