Jota’s first goal came from a shot that found the net off Neto’s near post, followed by another goal at the far post in the 79th minute.

Nunez sealed the win with his second goal in stoppage time, converting Joe Gomez’s cross from the right.

Despite Arsenal’s 5-0 win against Crystal Palace and Manchester City’s 3-2 victory over Newcastle, Liverpool maintains their lead at the top of the Premier League.

Their next challenge is the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham, where they enter the match with a 2-1 aggregate lead from the first leg.
