Scouse Academy graduate Jones curled a wonderful 71st-minute strike in off the crossbar to settle Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie with Everton at Anfield 1-0 in Liverpool’s favour.
The 18-year-old came into the Reds’ starting line-up as one of nine changes made by Jürgen Klopp from Thursday’s Premier League victory over Sheffield United, with the boss saluting a ‘sensationally good performance’ from his youthful side post-match.
And Jones revealed that his match-winning strike and all-round impressive display came despite him feeling under the weather.
