Some Liverpool fans have been full of praise for Diogo Jota’s aerial ability after he netted yet another header for Portugal on Tuesday evening.

The forward may only stand at 5 ft 10, but he’s quickly becoming one of the most potent aerial threats in the Premier League.

Indeed, he’s already scored one headed goal in the Premier League this term, while his goal for Portugal was his fourth headed goal in World Cup Qualification so far.

How does he do it? Well, despite being quite a diminutive forward his timing is impeccable, and he has an incredible leap.

Reds supporters were blown away by just how good he is in the air, with one fan even going as far as to compare him to Everton legend Tim Cahill who was famously brilliant at heading despite being one of the shorter players in the top-flight.

Here’s what the Anfield faithful have been saying about Jota’s aerial ability…
