The Portugal forward scooped the accolade following a fan vote on this website after striking three times in seven appearances.

Jota pipped Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to the prize and he told Liverpoolfc.com: “I’m very proud. It’s always a nice thing. I just want to thank the people who voted for me.

“I just wish I can keep working hard and keep getting results for the team, that’s what matters the most.”
