Watch: Diogo Jota’s last professional goal
Diogo Jota’s final goal as a professional footballer came in a dramatic Premier League clash between Liverpool and Everton in April 2025. The Portuguese forward scored the winning goal, delivering three crucial points for Liverpool in their quest for a record-equalling 20th league title.
Jota, who had been quiet for most of the game, sprang to life in the 75th minute. He latched onto a slick backheel from Luis Díaz and slalomed through Everton’s defence before calmly slotting the ball into the net.
The goal, which would turn out to be his last, was shared widely online after heartbreaking news of his untimely passing surfaced on 3 July 2025.
“Diogo’s last professional goal,” posted @SamueILFC on X.
“We will miss his clinical finishes.”
