Jurgen Klopp praised Diogo Jota after he came off the bench to score on his Liverpool debut.
The former Wolves player could have had a hat-trick with about ten minutes to go, and finally conclude the victory over Arsenal with the third goal in a 3-1 win.
Klopp was delighted with his new signing, but insists it will take time for him to get used to his style of play.
16 Conclusions: Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal
“I am very happy for Diogo Jota. Top, top guy, “Klopp told the BBC. “It is very difficult to improve a team like ours. It’s been on my list for two or three years, now it’s here.
“Diogo came in, he played his natural soccer, he tried to defend the way we defend and he only has about 20 percent of the information of what exactly we do.
“We had team meetings to talk about it, but it will take time.
“Today he had like 60 or 70 minutes to see how Sadio is doing and he came onto the field and played incredibly well.
“He scored a super goal, a nice first game at Anfield. So he will never forget that and I will never forget it, so off to a good start. “
Klopp dismissed an earlier incident in which Mohamed Salah appeared to steal the ball from Jota, before congratulating his wing duo on their linking play for the second goal.
“Mo didn’t shake it off, Mo played an absolutely exceptional game tonight,” added Klopp.
“Robbo, I don’t think that Robbo’s goal was a reaction to the previous situation (Arsenal’s first) but it was just his performance and the reaction was really good.
“And then the goal was a cross from the right side and then the left side finished it off, which is absolutely incredible, I love it.”
