Liverpool’s Diogo Jota equalized a Cristiano Ronaldo record in the Premier League

Liverpool’s striker Diogo Jota was one of the best players on the pitch for the Reds in their 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest in Anfield on the tenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, where he opened the scoring for the locals and lead his team to the victory, helping his teammates to sealed a great result in front of their fans.

In addition, the Portuguese striker would have not even completed a great game against Forest, but he would have also equalized an important record registered by Cristiano Ronaldo during his prime at Manchester United, which would really prove the great role developed by Jota in the Reds.

According to the sporting data company Opta Sports, the goal that Diogo Jota scored against Nottingham was his 50th net in the Premier League, which allowed him to become the second Portuguese player in the English league’s history to reach such a number alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, who already did it when he was at Manchester United.

He is in the top 40 of top scorers in Liverpool’s history

Jota, who has completed this register with three goals with Wolverhampton and 47 with Liverpool, is currently in the top 40 of top scorers in Liverpool, being really close to overtake players like Philippe Coutinho (54), Graeme Souness (55), Emile Heskey (60) or John Aldridge (63).
