Liverpool fans all say the same thing after Curtis Jones Carabao Cup masterclass

Liverpool fans have been raving about Curtis Jones following his stand-out performance against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup.

The Reds' midfielder is hoping for more first-team minutes this season after making a name for himself in the cup competitions last term.

Jones scored a memorable goal against Everton which saw a second-string Liverpool side beat their Merseyside rivals in the FA Cup.

He proved at Sincil Bank that he's equally adept in the Carabao Cup with a sublime set of strikes as Liverpool ran out 7-2 winners.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi scored the first and the last goals, with braces for Jones and Takumi Minamino in between.

Diogo Jota also came on at the hour-mark for his Liverpool debut but it was Jones who stole the show.

The midfielder's composure and skill on the ball was a joy to behold, even against significantly inferior opposition.

Despite Liverpool's huge competition for places in midfield, especially after the arrival of Thiago Alcantara, Jones was a man with a point to prove as he bids to worm his way into Jurgen Klopp's plans.

Liverpool supporters were certainly left impressed and they took to social media to applaud his performance.

Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Monday night in the Premier League looking for a third win in as many matches.
