Liverpool's Diogo Jota made history with the Reds after scoring his goal Tuesday against Danish guest Midtjylland in the Champions League.

Liverpool defeated Midtjylland 2-0 in the match, which was held at Anfield, in the second round of the group stage of the European Champions League.

Jota made history after he scored the goal number 10 thousand for the Reds in their history in all competitions, 128 years after the first goal scored by Jock Smith in September of 1892 in the Lancashire League.
