Liverpool fans think they may have figured out Diogo Jota's new goal celebration from Crystal Palace game

Liverpool fans might have figured out what the ew goal celebration shown off by Diogo Jota during the match with Crystal Palace means.

Arne Slot's Reds kicked off their final match before the second international break on Saturday, as Liverpool travelled to Selhurst Park to face off against Crystal Palace.

After a goal from Palace striker Eddie Nketiah was ruled offside, Liverpool quickly established dominance in the match, leading to Jota opening the scoring with a slick goal in the ninth minute.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, Jota showed off a brand new goal celebration, and now Liverpool fans on social media think they may have figured out exactly what he was doing.

The 27-year-old forward is known to be a huge fan of popular football video game EA FC, and has been seen using celebrations referencing the game in the past.

And, following the release of the latest edition of EA FC last week, fans think that Jota's celebration on Saturday was no different.

While another agreed that Jota was using a celebration from EA FC, they argued that it was a different one.

The fan added: "Jota doing FC 25 ladder celebration. The guy loves FIFA."

The Portuguese forward often speaks about EA FC, and even admitted to being addicted to the game after he had represented Portugal at an international tournament for the game.

In April last year, Jota showed off a Fifa goal celebration after scoring a late winner against Tottenham Hotspur, who just seconds earlier had equalised.

After scoring Liverpool's fourth of the game in the 94th minute, he sat cross legged on the ground and mimicked using a controller to play a video game as a nod to his love of the EA FC.

However, some fans disagree that this is what he was doing on Saturday, instead suggesting that Jota was mimicking a celebration that comedian Bob Mortimer uses in his BBC series 'Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.'

Reacting to the celebration, one fan wrote: "Jota's been watching Bob Mortimer's Uno celebration from Gone Fishing!'

Another agreed, adding: "Jota doing the Bob Mortimer celebration!"
