Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter in awe of what Curtis Jones did in the 75th minute against Tottenham last night.
The 19-year-old delivered a phenomenal display as Jurgen Klopp’s side wrestled top spot back off Tottenham in the Premier League.
Specifically, the moment under the spotlight saw Jones perform a flamboyant heel-flick pass to Andy Robertson, right under the nose of Jose Mourinho.
It was entirely unnecessary, as a simple pass to the Scot would’ve sufficed.
However, that is by no means a criticism. It showed that the teenager is playing with freedom and confidence is coursing through his veins.
Aside from his piece of skill, Jones delivered an excellent all-round performance.
As WhoScored shows, he had three shots on goal, and made two key passes against the north Londoners.
The Liverpool academy graduate also won four aerials duels – only another academy graduate in Rhys Williams won more with seven.
That is particularly impressive, seeing as the Liverpool No.17 isn’t exactly a towering presence, whereas Mourinho’s side are very physical.
Additionally, Jones made four interceptions, on a night where he showed no fear whatsoever against one of the Premier League’s best sides right now.
