Diogo Jota's final career goal
The former FC Porto star scored his final career goal in a Premier League match against Everton, a Week 30 fixture and a tightly contested Merseyside derby on April 2, 2025.
Jota had suffered from niggling injuries all season, but in this game, he took his brilliance to another level.
In the 57th minute, with the score tied at 0-0, Liverpool found themselves pressing deep into Everton's defensive third.
Jota, always adept at finding space in tight situations, was the focal point. The Everton box was crowded, with defenders frantically scrambling to block every angle. But what came next was pure Jota magic.
With a deft touch, he danced around two Everton defenders, his feet moving in perfect harmony with the ball. Amid a cluster of bodies, he weaved in and out, his low center of gravity making him almost impossible to stop.
In a flash, he fired a low shot, a laser-like strike that bypassed Everton’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and nestled into the bottom corner of the net.
The Anfield crowd erupted in sheer jubilation as the Reds took the lead, 1-0. It was a goal that defined Diogo Jota's style – an elegant mix of footwork, composure, and precision under pressure.
