Liverpool boss Rodgers pleased for Jones after debut cleansheet

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted for Aussie goalkeeper Brad Jones after he kept a cleansheet for victory over Reading.

He made his first Premier League start for the club after Jose Reina was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

"I thought Brad was outstanding: what he had to do he did very well," Rodgers said.

"When I came in during the summer he had been the number three keeper but I've seen massive development and it's a great credit to him.

"What he is absolutely outstanding at is shot-stopping and he made a great save from (Gareth) McCleary."
