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.

Jurgen Klopp said 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 2-0 at Anfield.

Diogo Jota double sinks Leicester to maintain Liverpool’s title pursuit
Liverpool may be in distant pursuit of Manchester City but the chase goes on, thanks to a player whose chances of overhauling the leader in the scoring stakes may be equally remote. Mohamed Salah could go to Africa for a month and retain a sizeable advantage in the race for the Golden Boot but as he made his comeback in a cameo, Diogo Jota struck twice to ensure Brendan Rodgers’ return to Anfield was a less happy affair. This was not Leicester’s worst result of the week but the manner of Jota’s goals underlined City’s defensive deficiencies and, but for Kasper Schmeichel’s heroics, it might have been a thrashing.
