Liverpool Under-19s eased to an impressive 2-0 victory away to Genk on Wednesday afternoon.
The Reds were the better team in their UEFA Youth League win, with a penalty from Layton Stewart added to by a second-half Curtis Jones strike.
It was captain Jones who was the pick of Liverpool’s players on the day, with his goal rounding off an exciting all-round display.
These Reds supporters lauded the 18-year-old’s brilliance on Twitter.
Curtis Jones looks far too good for this level. Outstanding footballer.

Curtis Jones running the show for Liverpool U19s again. Just put them 2-0 up against Genk after a great ball from Harvey Elliott.
Jones has been outstanding for the youth teams all season. Everything goes through him.

Read Liverpool Verdict
Jones is an exceptional talent, and having struggled a little to go up a gear last season, he is now making up for lost time.
The midfielder has incredible natural ability, but he seems to have added maturity and consistency to his game.
He has everything in his locker to become a future first-team regular at Liverpool, assuming he remains grounded.
Both Jones and Harvey Elliott, who assisted his teammate against Genk, are two special players to keep an eye on.
