In the 88th minute of Liverpool’s clash with Aston Villa, the Reds buried the Midlands outfit’s hopes of getting back into the game thanks to a fine goal from academy graduate Curtis Jones.
Jones brilliant sparked the attacking opportunity with a run from the halfway line, the ace showed his tenacity by continuing to charge forward after playing the ball into one of his teammates.
The 19-year-old hit the back of the net with a superb half-volley after Mohamed Salah headed the ball down after a dangerous cross from Andy Robertson.
Sadio Mane broke the deadlock for the Reds about twenty minutes before with a tidy finish after a well-worked team move.
Take a look at the academy graduate’s lovely finish below:
