Liverpool duo Jones and Jota thrilled with emphatic Cup victory

With their impressive 5-1 win propelling them to the fourth round, Jota and Jones are now determined to push onwards and aim for nothing less than lifting the trophy.

On the game being comfortable, Jota stated: “Maybe not. I think the result says so but the game was completely different – we scored a couple of goals now towards the end and when they were down to 10 men. I think they made it hard for us (before then), they kept the ball, it was a good game in general and we are just happy to go through.”

Jones on getting in the team for the game: “Yeah, I’m just a lad who always wants to play. It’s been hard, I’ve had an injury but now I’m back and I’m playing games with a smile on my face.”

On retaining the trophy, Jota added: “Yeah, it’s hard but we want to do it again. Obviously, we are the reigning champions and we want to progress.”
