50 Premier League goals for Diogo Jota
Jota is now the second Portuguese player to score 50 Premier League goals.

Jota scored for Liverpool in yesterday's victory over Nottingham Forest and now has 50 Premier League goals. Jota is 26 years old and is now the second Portuguese player to score 50 goals in the Premier League, with the other player being Cristiano Ronaldo, which is not surprising.

Portuguese players with most Premier League goals:
◉ Cristiano Ronaldo (103)
◉ Diogo Jota (50)
◉ Bruno Fernandes (46)
◉ Bernardo Silva (34)
◉ Luis Boa Morte (29)

Jota arrived in the Premier League in the 2017/18 season when he joined Wolverhampton after failing to make a breakthrough at Atletico Madrid. He quickly became a standout player for Wolves, and in 2020, he made the move to Liverpool, where he has continued to develop as a player. Jota may not be known for his flashy technical skills, and he's not a showman, but he often finds himself in the right place to score goals.

Jota for Wolverhampton Premier League:
◉ 67 games
◉ 16 goals 
◉ 6 assists 

Jota for Liverpool Premier League: 
◉ 85 games
◉ 34 goals
◉ 10 assists 

In this season, he has scored 3 goals in the 9 matches he has played for Liverpool in the Premier League, and it's fair to say that he has become a notable figure in the league. As mentioned, he may not be a player who garners a lot of attention, but season after season, he manages to score a respectable number of goals.
