Wolves’ Jota beats Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold to win ePL tournament with dramatic Golden Goal [VIDEO]

Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Diogo Jota came through a tense final against Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold to win the e-Premier League tournament.

Jota came from behind to take the match into extra-time, where he beat Trent with a Golden Goal.

Jota had qualified for the final after beating Burnley’s Dwight McNeil 4-1 in his semi while Trent had won his first two matches against Man Utd’s Tom Grennan and Newcastle’s Christian Atsu by a combined score of 9-2.

He then staged a magnificent comeback to beat Man City’s Sterling in extra-time.

It looked like it would be a good day again for TAA after  Georginio Wijnaldum put Liverpool ahead just before the break.

Jota finally found an equaliser through  Adama Traore to take the match to extra-time although either player should have won it with a couple of decent late chances.

Raul Jimenez’s extra-time goal gave Diogo the win via the Golden Goal rule.

It’s very difficult to break him down, he’s patient defensively. I thought I did quite well against him, to be fair, but he probably deserved to win that last game because of the chances he created,” Trent said after the match.
