But Jones has been quick to downplay the incident following the game by taking to social media to defuse the whole situation.
He wrote on Twitter: “Unbelievable team performance today with a 7-0 win over Napoli, happy to grab a Hat-Trick and an Assist. Thanks to my little brother for the pass leading to my second!”
Before adding on Instagram: “This my lil bradda, brother always bicker thanks for the assist.”
Goals from Jones (x2), Elijah Dixon-Bonner and Luis Longstaff put the young Reds five goals up after just 27 minutes.
Jones then scored the goal of the game on 52 minutes when his curling effort from the top corner of the net from 20-yards out, before Longstaff completed the scoring just after the hour-mark.
The victory means that Lewtas’ side only need a draw away at Red Bull Salzburg in two weeks time to progress to the last 16.
