# Liverpool fans applaud another Curtis Jones masterclass

Curtis Jones produced a superb performance for Liverpool’s Under-23s on Monday night, as the young Reds [thrashed](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academy/382583-match-report-liverpool-u23s-southampton) Southampton 5-0 in Kirkby.

It comes fresh off the back of the 18-year-old’s [memorable winner against Everton](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glVioKlBFS4) in the FA Cup – his first-ever goal for the senior side.

Jones curled home a stunning finish against the Blues and he did [exactly the same](https://twitter.com/RedmenAcademy/status/1216827935610540033?s=20) on Monday, too.

The midfielder got Liverpool’s fourth goal on the night, earning rave reviews from supporters on Twitter in the process.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

While many youngsters fail to eventually make the grade at Liverpool, I believe Jones will be a future starter for the Reds.

He has already matured so much in the last year, looking a more physical player and cutting out of the poor bits of decision-making that sometimes held him back.

He is one of the biggest talents to emerge from Liverpool’s academy in years, in my opinion, and along with [Harvey Elliott](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team/player/harvey-elliott), he is the player I would most tip to have a long-term future at Anfield.

With James Milner now 34, and Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum turning 30 this year, Jones’ chance may not be too far away.
