Garth Crooks raves about Liverpool forward Diogo Jota

Garth Crooks has showered heaps of praise on Diogo Jota after Liverpool won 1-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Monday night at Molineux.

Jota, who recently returned to action after a long injury lay-off, scored the only goal of the match as Liverpool picked up all three points to rekindle their top-four hopes.

Crooks has suggested to BBC Sport that the Reds could still be in the title race had Jota not been injured and continued playing during their tough times.

Jota joined Liverpool in the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £41m from Wolves and has been superb in his first season at the club.
