EPL: ‘What a performance’ – Carragher names Liverpool star that caused Chelsea problems

Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher, has hailed Curtis Jones, who helped the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 in their Premier League clash on Sunday.

Jones was only starting his second league game of the season, thanks to Alexis Mac Allister fitness issues.

The 23-year-old midfielder won Liverpool a penalty, which Mohamed Salah converted in the 29th minute.

He then scored the winner in the 51st minute with a clever low finish past Robert Sanchez to seal all three points for the Reds.

Carragher Sky Sports, “Curtis Jones was brilliant, he was outstanding. He’s still at that stage where he doesn’t know for certain if he is first choice when you have got Gravenberch and Mac Allister.

“But what a performance that was, when you think of the quality on the pitch and the money that has been spent. For a local lad to be player of the match.

“I wonder if Arne Slot is going to go back in for Zubimendi in January, but when you see how he played today, you think ‘no’. He has to now do it on a consistent basis.
