Well Diogo Jota's numbers are very impressive. The Portugal forward averages a goal every 141 minutes in the Premier League for Liverpool - that's a better record than Michael Owen (143) and Robbie Fowler (159).
However, Jota's minutes-per-goal tally is not as good as both Luis Suarez (139), Fernando Torres (121) and Mohamed Salah (132).
When it comes to Salah, out of Premier League players who have played over 1000 minutes of football since the Egypt forward joined the Premier League, only Erling Haaland, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane have a better minutes-per-goal ratio than Liverpool's No 11.
In terms of how Jota's finishing compares to historical Liverpool forwards, Opta only record data from the 2003-04 season onwards so it is difficult to statistically judge Carragher's comments.
