Diogo Jota has hit back at Alan Shearer after the all-time Premier League top goalscorer labelled his successful attempt to win a penalty against Newcastle United as \u201cf***ing embarrassing\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0forward was roundly criticised for going to ground under minimal contact from Martin Dubravka late in a New Year\u2019s Day clash with Newcastle United at Anfield, giving Mohamed Salah the chance to score from the penalty spot \u2013 which he duly took \u2013 instead of tapping into an empty net himself.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, one of Jota\u2019s biggest critics was Newcastle legend Shearer, who took to X (Twitter) to tweet \u201cf***ing embarrassing\u201d in relation to the incident, before elaborating on his sentiments in an episode of The Rest Is Football:<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, he f***ing dived. Pretty simple. That is as clear a dive you will ever see,\u201d said Shearer. \u201cThere was a tiny bit of contact, but he could have just stayed on his feet and tapped it in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
Speaking to the press, Jota has now responded to Shearer\u2019s comments, insisting that he did not dive: \u201cListen, of course I saw some comments from ex-players and people who are paid to talk about situations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing I can say is even the keeper said it was a touch and I didn\u2019t feel the conditions to stay up. So that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould I rather put the ball in the net than see Mo take a penalty? Yes, of course. That\u2019s what I like to do \u2013 to score goals. That\u2019s all I have to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jota was once again in stunning form for Liverpool on Sunday, earning himself a 9\/10 in 90min\u2019s player ratings thanks to his star turn in a thumping 4-0 win over Bournemouth in the\u00a0Premier League\u00a0at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n
