Two Liverpudlians at opposite ends of their soccer careers, Curtis Jones and Wayne Rooney, took center stage in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Jones, a highly rated 18-year-old winger, scored a goal he may never better to earn Liverpool a 1-0 win over Everton in a Merseyside derby at Anfield that had a familiar result.
Collecting the ball outside the area on the left, Jones bent a shot into the far corner off the underside of the crossbar.
“The ball came to me and I only had one thing in mind – to shoot,” said Jones, who joined Liverpool at the age of 6 and was one of a number of youth players in an inexperienced team selected by Jurgen Klopp.
