The football world is in mourning following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 28 in a car accident in Zamora, Spain. The Portuguese forward's last goal for Liverpool, a match-winning strike against Everton in the Merseyside derby, now holds significance more than it already has.

Fitting farewell goal

Jota's final goal for the Reds, a trademark finish that secured a 1-0 victory at Anfield, perfectly shows his qualities as a player. The decisive moment arrived in the 57th minute of the high-stakes Premier League clash. Jota expertly latched onto a loose ball inside the box and unleashed a powerful shot past Jordan Pickford. It wasn't just any goal; it was a derby winner, scored in front of the Kop, and secured crucial points for Liverpool's campaign.
