Image for Liverpool: Diogo Jota should be left embarrassed as Sky Sports footage emerges

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota suffered a rather embarrassing moment whilst playing for Portugal in their World Cup qualifier against Turkey.

With 19 goals and three assists at club level this season, it’s fair to say that Jota has played a pretty big part in getting Liverpool to the stage where they are at right now as they remain on course for the quadruple.

However, he suffered a moment to forget for Portugal whilst he was away on international duty.

Do you know how many points Liverpool gain in these seasons? Let's start of with 2020/21

With the score at 0-0 at around the 10-minute mark, the ball was whipped into the box by Bruno Fernandes from a free kick out wide and landed at the feet of Jota, who stuck out a foot to try and poke the ball home, but could only manage to fire the ball over the bar with the goal at his mercy.

Has Jota been Liverpool's best player this season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

He would later redeem himself with a very good header to put the home side 2-0 up on the night on their way to victory, but this will surely be a moment he’ll look back on and know he should have done an awful lot better.

When you’re in the form that he has been in this season, you can probably get away with the odd moment like this, especially if it doesn’t mean a lot in the grand scheme of things seeing as they still went on to win.

Let’s just hope that misses like this don’t start to creep into his game for Liverpool, or they could end up having a big say in how the title race plays out.
