Jota justifies start with stunning hat-trick as Liverpool trounce Atalanta Man of the moment Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick as Liverpool claimed a breathtaking 5-0 win over Atalanta in the Champions League. There was a lot of talk about Roberto Firmino’s place in the team in the build-up to the game, with Diogo Jota’s recent performances putting pressure on the Brazilian. Indeed, Jurgen Klopp chose to replace Firmino with Jota in his starting XI against Atalanta. The Portugal international slotted straight into Firmino’s role in between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Klopp also gave a first Champions League start to young defender Rhys Williams, who replaced Nat Phillips – not included in their European squad list – next to Joe Gomez. The pairing eventually kept hold of their clean sheet. Jota justified his selection after just 16 minutes by giving Liverpool the lead.

Joe Gomez played an aerial ball forward, which the number 20 brought down with his left foot. His touch took Atalanta full-back Hans Hateboer out of the game, before he struck the ball on the half-volley with a powerful right-footed effort. It arrowed into the bottom corner to make it 2-0. Mane went close to extending the advantage to three moments later, forcing a good save from Sportiello after a curling effort from outside the box.

Salah picked the ball up in his own half and burst forward at pace. As he arrived at the edge of the box, he cut back onto his stronger left foot, beating Hateboer’s challenge and curling the ball beyond Sportiello’s reach. Just a minute later, Salah turned provider for Liverpool’s fourth goal. The Egyptian picked out Mane, who slotted home at the near post. It was 5-0 after just 54 minutes, as Jota completed his first Liverpool hat-trick. Mane played the ball forward, with Jota just reaching it before onrushing keeper Sportiello.

Liverpool were in full flow by now, and a cheeky long-distance effort from Salah just after summed up their confidence. However, he could not quite catch Sportiello out.

Atalanta finally found the back of the net in stoppage time, but Duvan Zapata’s goal was ruled out for offside. Hence, Liverpool kept their clean sheet. The 5-0 win puts them in a commanding position at the top of Group D, having won their first three games of the Champions League campaign.
