Sadio Mane and Mohammad Salah were subject to lavish praise from Liverpool FC’s hat-trick hero against Atalanta, Diogo Jota, in the player’s post-match interview to BT Sport.
Jurgen Klopp fielded a changed front three against Tuesday night’s opponents in the Champions League, with Roberto Firmino dropping to the bench in order to make a way in the XI for the in-form Jota, whose scoring run in recent weeks had been unrivalled by any of the others in the Liverpool FC camp.
And the ex-Wolves man was in spectacular form against the Serie A giants, netting his first hat-trick in the Liverpool FC colours, to lead his side to a formidable 5-0 win over Atalanta as Jurgen Klopp and Co maintained hold of the top spot in the Group D rankings in the Champions League.
Jota was assisted by Mane for his third goal of the night, and the Senegalese forward, along with Salah, were praised by the former for their quality on the pitch, something that made his finding the back of the net an easy task, expressed the Portuguese international.
“I don’t know if it was my best moment but scoring goals is my way of playing football. It is great to win away in the Champions League.”
“Two world-class players, we all know their quality so it makes it easier for me to do my job and I think we did a great game today.”
