Liverpool: Klopp says team played ‘exceptional’ against Arsenal
Liverpool star Roberto Firmino’s angry reaction to a Diogo Jota miss against Arsenal has emerged in new footage. The Brazilian could not get on the scoreboard as the Reds saw off Mikel Areta’s side 3-1. But new £45m forward Jota did find the back of the net two minutes before the 90.
The Portuguese midfielder was surrounded by his team-mates when the ball hit the back of net after Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson’s strikes.
But footage has emerged of Firmino, who is still looking for his first goal of the season, reacting in a different way to the 23-year-old on two occasions.
In new footage from the game, Jota has only been on the pitch for three minutes when he picks up the ball from Mohamed Salah.

While a third sent a warning to Jurgen Klopp, with: “Bobby needs to score.”
And a fourth made a big prediction, adding: “Great debut for Diogo, he might have a chance replacing Firmino.”
Jota suffered another awkward moment when he took the ball away from Salah in another attack on the Gunners.
The forward looked to have the perfect chance to open his account when the ball dropped to him inside the box, only for Salah to steal it away from him with the chance going begging.
“You’re not going to be happy with that, you are going to be talking to him at half-time or at the end of the game,” Heskey told Sky Sports.
“But this is something you have to get over on the pitch, you can’t dwell on these things because you have still got a game to play.
“After the game you have got to sit down and discuss these things. That little spat they had with Mane as well last season, they get over it. You shake hands and you move on.”
