Champions League: Diogo Jota hat-trick does not give a selection headache - Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said "good performances never give me a headache" as Diogo Jota pressed his claims for a starting place with a Champions League hat-trick at Atalanta.

Jota, 23, was selected ahead of Roberto Firmino and took his tally to seven goals in 10 games as the Reds won 5-0.

Klopp said: "It is important we have more than 11 [to choose from] and tonight Diogo played a super game."

Champions Liverpool face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Reds are top of the Premier League, while Pep Guardiola's side are in 10th place, five points adrift of their rivals but having played a game fewer.
