Liverpool player ratings vs Leeds: Diogo Jota finally scores! Forward ends year-long goal drought as Reds run riot

Diogo Jota scored his first Liverpool goals in more than a year as the Reds battered Leeds 6-1 to keep their faint hopes of a top-four finish flickering.

First-half strikes from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah had Jurgen Klopp's side in control at the break at Elland Road, but Luis Sinisterra punished Ibrahima Konate's dreadful error shortly after the restart to give the home side hope.

Jota, though, restored the visitors' two-goal cushion soon after, and after Salah had rounded off a flowing move with his second of the night, the Portuguese international helped himself to another to ensure his goal drought was well and truly over. Substitute Darwin Nunez wrapped up the scoring late on.

An excellent away day - a rarity for Liverpool this season - was capped late on when they were able to welcome Luis Diaz back from injury, with the Colombian star making his first appearance in more than six months.
