Liverpool fans are hugely impressed by rising Reds star Curtis Jones after his performance against Lincoln City.
The Premier League champions fought off their Carabao Cup rivals in a thrilling 7-2 victory at the LNER Stadium. A brace from the young Merseyside local helped guide his team over the line and into the next round.

Not only did Jones bag himself two goals, but he made an additional key pass and kept a 92% pass success rate. The teenager also completed 4/5 dribbles, 10/12 duels and made two tackles (via Sofascore).
Fans have taken to Twitter to heap praise on the young talent, who could be integrated further into Jurgen Klopp’s title-winning side this season.
After rising through his boyhood club’s academy, the 19-year-old is now valued at £4.5million, according to Transfermarkt.
