Liverpool-Born Curtis Jones Scores A Screamer To Knock Everton Out Of The FA Cup

Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones bent in a delightful winner against Everton in the FA Cup third round this evening.

The 18-year-old received the ball from Divock Origi just outside the Everton box.

He took one touch and then proceeded to rifle the ball past Jordan Pickford and give his side the lead.

Liverpool fielded a weakened side against their bitter rivals and it was Jones who stepped up the mark with his stunning strike.

Even Jurgen Klopp couldn't contain his excitement at the brilliant hit.

Twitter reacted to the birth of a new Anfield legend, who was also named Man of the Match.

The midfielder has featured numerous times throughout the season and he certainly made his mark this afternoon.

Liverpool also fielded new January signing Takumi Minamino.

Minamino started up front for The Reds and put in a decent shift before being substituted in the second half.

Everton did have their chances in the first half and Carlo Ancelotti will be furious his side didn't take them.

But their attacking prowess dried up in the second half and they failed to register a shot on target.

Adrian made numerous saves in the first half to deny Everton who were looking for their first win at Anfield since 1999.

That wait goes on and it's Liverpool who'll be in the pot for the fourth round tomorrow night.
