The relief.
Liverpool break. Jota goes flying, Diaz loses control and slips and whenever [Jota] gets into that area he is ruthless.
He slots it past [the goalkeeper]. The exhalation of breath by everyone at Anfield.

Ollie Watkins. Blocked. Douglas Luiz. Blocked.
Diogo Jota
That seals it!
Liverpool are a bit lucky that a Union man can't control in the Liverpool box to allow them to clear. Less than 20 seconds later, the Reds are 2-0 up as they set Diogo Jota away to slot in a low shot.
Relief.
