Two minutes later, he set up Mohamed Salah for his first goal of the night.The Egyptian international scored with a deft finish from a tight angle before being assisted by Jota once again in the 80th minute. It wasn't the neatest of assists as the ball inadvertently deflected off Jota to Salah's feet.The former Chelsea winger hit a rather central shot past a poorly-positioned Allan McGregor. A minute later, the combination worked its magic yet again.The former Wolves forward found Salah in space on the right flank, whose curled shot found its way into the back of the net after hitting the post. Harvey Elliott scored the final goal of the match which ended 7-1 at Anfield.Liverpool fans were left memserised by Jota's performance on the night, despite him being on the pitch for just 17 minutes.

This was also the fastest hat-trick in the history of the competition.Jota, meanwhile, has five assists from seven games across competitions this season. He is yet to score during that time, however. But that won't be an issue if such results keep coming his and the team's way.Liverpool in comfortable position to qualify for Champions League knockout rounds after win vs RangersFor Liverpool, this was the ideal result before a massive Premier League game at Anfield against Manchester City on Sunday (October 16). View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe 7-1 win means the Reds are second in the table with nine points from four matches - three behind Napoli and six ahead of Rangers. A point against the Neopolitans at home on matchday 5 will confirm their qualification from Group A.The story, however, isn't so rosy in the Premier League. Manager Jurgen Klopp has seen his team amass just 10 points from eight games so far. The game against City was tipped to be an early title-decider when the fixture list was released in the summer.Now, it is more about pride and Liverpool getting their season back on track to mount a challenge for a top-four finish.
