Diogo Jota makes funny Arsenal comment when naming his favorite Liverpool goal
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota trolled an Arsenal-supporting interviewer when asked to name which one of his goals he most enjoys watching back.
Jota was speaking to ESPN when he was asked the question and responded: "The Arsenal one. And now I have to tell you which, because there's a few! The one where I go around Ramsdale, you know that one? You can watch it back."
The Portuguese forward has a great record against Arsenal, scoring eight goals and registering two assists in 15 appearances across his spells at Wolves and Liverpool.
The goal in question, when Jota rounded Ramsdale before scoring, was scored during a 4-0 victory for the Reds over Arsenal at Anfield during the 2021-22 season.

Jota intercepted a misplaced pass by Arsenal's Nuno Tavarez before feinting to get past Ben White, and then also fooling Ramsdale in a similar way before tapping into an empty net.
Ramsdale himself previously recalled the goal Jota was talking about as he responded to a question about whether he had ever been "rinsed" by an opponent.
“[Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Sergio] Aguero, [Jamie] Vardy," Ramsdale told Sky Sports two years ago. “Jota – he sent me to the shops didn’t he. For a ‘keeper, the goals which you look at and think, ‘Made you look a plonker’ [are the ones where you think you've been rinsed].”
Meanwhile, Arne Slot confirmed last week that he expects Jota to return in the coming weeks after overloading a muscle during the 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest earlier this month.
Jota has endured a frustrating time with injuries since joining Liverpool in 2020, and has already missed 15 games this season after also spending around two months on the sidelines between October and December last year.
