Newcastle legend Shearer praises Liverpool resolve; names 'special' Liverpool forward

Newcastle legend Shearer feels that only Liverpool could win the way they did with 7 players out.

Liverpool were 'magnificent' - from the centre-halves to the forwards.

Yet, the man of the match was Diogo Jota who turned every touch into something special.

"Seriously impressive. They had a point to prove. I don’t think if you look at City, Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham – no other club could have coped with seven players out like Liverpool have this evening [against Leicester on Sunday]", Shearer told Optus Sport.

"The players that came in slipped into the formation superbly well. A magnificent performance from start to finish – whether it was the two centre-halves, Milner, Robertson, Mane, Firmino.

“But the man of the match was Jota; everything he did turned into something very, very special."

With his goal against Leicester, Jota became the first Liverpool player to score in each of his opening 4 home top-flight appearances.

Liverpool put out a dominating performance against a Leicester side that went into the gameweek on top of the Premier League.
