This was excellent stuff from Jones, who has his critics and has struggled to be a fixture in Liverpool’s midfield this season.
There have been moments of frustration, not least failing to shoot when clean-through to immediate the overturned penalty determination, however he was a monster out and in of possession.
It’s nonetheless really easy to neglect that Jones continues to be solely 23, and has seen accidents hamper his progress, however this was an ideal reminder of his price.
