In the 70th minute Jurgen Klopp decided to release his reserve “gold” Diogo Jota and the Portuguese immediately started working in the right direction. In minute 77, the full-back scored for the locals, but after reviewing the situation with VAR, the goal was disallowed.
However, the Merseysiders’ patience was rewarded and victory was in their hands. This happened five minutes before the referee’s last signal. Jerdan Shakiri cut through West Ham’s defense with a perfect pass to Jota, who neutralized it against Fabianski with a strong shot down the middle.
