Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Diogo Jota will never forget his Anfield debut after scoring in a 3-1 win against Arsenal.
The Portugal international, who came from the Wolves earlier this month in a deal that could be worth 45 million pounds, sealed the points at the end with a stunning blow to the end of Kop.
Jota could have had a hat-trick after coming in with around 10 minutes to go as the Reds advanced for the third goal, before he closed out the win with his well executed.
Klopp praised the new man, but says he will need more time to adjust to how the Premier League champions operate.
A £ 41m + deal has been agreed to bring the forward to Anfield from the Wolves, and he is set to play Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds coach said: “Diogo came in, played his natural football, tried to defend the way we defend and he only has about 20 percent of the information for 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 it and I will never forget it, so off to a good start.”

When asked about the possibility of Mohamed Salah getting in Jota’s way before the goal, Klopp dismissed the incident and praised the Egyptian international’s performance.
And Klopp was also delighted with the way his full-back pair of Trent Alexander-Arnold and striker Andy Robertson combined to make it 2-1 after Sadio Mane canceled Alexandre Lacazette’s opener.
“Mo didn’t shake it off, Mo played an absolutely exceptional game tonight,” added Klopp.
“Robbo, I don’t think 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.”
