Diogo Jota's double keeps Liverpool in Premier League title hunt, 10-man Arsenal win at Wolverhampton
Liverpool are not breathing down Manchester City's necks yet, but the Reds remain in the hunt for the Premier League title after Diogo Jota's double beat Leicester City 2-0 at Anfield. Victory for Klopp's men cut City's advantage at the top of the table to nine points, but Liverpool still have a game in hand to come on the English champions. "I don't think they smell our breath already," said Klopp. "But we just try to win football matches." With Mohamed Salah left on the bench from the start after his exertions at the Africa Cup of Nations and Sadio Mane still celebrating his success with Senegal, Jota took centre stage to continue his excellent season. The Portuguese produced two predatory finishes as he smashed home a loose ball from close range to open the scoring in the first half before firing into the far corner three minutes from time to take his tally for the campaign to 17 goals.
