Diogo Jota, a forward for Liverpool, has urged the Reds to build on Monday night's 6-1 hammering of Leeds in the Premier League with a string of solid efforts and outcomes that could still offer them a chance to end the season in the top four.


After the victory, which was their first since thrashing Manchester United 7-0 at the beginning of March, Jurgen Klopp's team maintained eighth place and is now nine points behind fourth-place Newcastle with eight games remaining.


Liverpool has only managed to win more than two consecutive Premier League games once this season. Even though, the World Cup break divided their four straight victories in November and December. The Reds have failed to win a third game every other time they have won two straight.


They have suffered from a consistency problem.


"I believe that this season we had great wins and results, but we didn't really adhere to that. Jota, who scored his first two Premier League goals of a season marred by injuries, told LiverpoolFC.com after the Leeds match: "Maybe this time we can go on a run and win pretty much all the games.


To catch the top four, he stated, "We need to believe." "We need to have faith even though it's possible. Yet we can only do that by succeeding in our games. Without a certain, today was a positive step.


Since placing eighth in 2015–16, Klopp's first season in command before a significant squad overhaul, Liverpool has never failed to qualify for the Champions League.


Prior to Monday night, Jota had gone an entire season without scoring in the Premier League; his previous goal came in a 2-2 tie with Manchester City in April 2022. Nonetheless, he is hoping that his victory at Elland Road would boost his self-esteem and enthusiasm.


He acknowledged, "I suppose it was a little bit of last season as well, I didn't score in the last few games.


"With so many injuries, this season has been quite difficult. I'm currently attempting to regain that momentum, and games like today's will undoubtedly support that.
