Johnson dedicates matchwinning goal to Liverpool teammate Jones

Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson has dedicated his winning goal at Chelsea to teammate Brad Jones.

Johnson's goal was his first since February and he dedicated it to goalkeeper Jones' five-year-old son Luca, who lost his long battle with leukaemia on Friday.

"We have had a tough week with Brad Jones and I'd like to dedicate my goal to the memory of his little boy," Johnson said.

"It was a sad moment and I can't even begin to know what Brad is feeling."
