Diogo Jota named Liverpool's player of the month while Salah scoops goal of the month of November

Diogo Jota has been voted Liverpool's men's Standard Chartered Player of the Month of December. 

It's the second time in a row that the 24 years old will pick up the award. 

The Portugal forward bagged five goals  for the Reds during November, including a Champions League hat-trick against Atalanta BC.

Jota was also on target at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he netted after an incisive dribble into the opposition box and precise low finish.

Recall that Liverpool signed the forward for 45m pounds from Wolverhampton this summer. 

He picked the award back in October too, ahead of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson in a poll of supporters.

“Well, it just feels like I was doing the things right, obviously helping the team on the field and that was of course the most important [thing],” Jota told Liverpoolfc.com, when asked how it feels to win the award again.

“And of course it is always a reason to be proud because to play in this club is already a reason to be proud, but to help the way I was helping the team, it’s even better. So I was very pleased with the other one [award] and of course this one as well.”

Was his personal highlight of November that clinical hat-trick in Italy, then?

“I think it has to be. Of course, a Champions League hat-trick is not every day and it’s a night to remember for a long time,” the 24-year-old replied.

“If I need to choose one moment during November, it has to be that one.”

Jota has missed Liverpool's last two games due to a knee injury and admits he finds it difficult to watch, rather than play.

“Playing in the Premier League is not easy and we have been struggling a little bit away from home, but let’s hope that we can correct that straight away because that would make a massive difference in the table,” he said, of the champions’ December form so far.

“But we are still top of the league and the last game was very, very good. I was there watching – from the outside it is never easy but I think we played really well and we were deserving the win that was not happening until the last minute almost. So I think we are doing things well and we just want to keep on going because in the end we will have reasons to celebrate.”

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah voted the goal of month. The Egyptian scored a wonderful solo goal against Atalanta in the Champions League.
