The Colombian forward bundled in the opener of the Reds against Wolves with his diaphragm disappeared by fifteen minutes.

Mo Salah made two of the penalty eight minutes before the break.

And it seemed as if Diogo Jota had protected the golden chance to complete the points when he went into the wolf area under a sliding tackle.

Referee Simon Hooper pointed to the place, but turned his decision after the VAR monitor showed repetitions that Jota had just thrown himself on the floor.
