Liverpool midfielder Fabinho: We know if we give Jones the ball he'll create something

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has heaped praise on Curtis Jones after his performance in victory at Porto in the Champions League.

The Reds ran out comprehensive 5-1 victors in Portugal on Tuesday night with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino both grabbing braces while Sadio Mane also found the net.

Fabinho told Liverpool's official site when asked about Jones: “Yes, (he was involved in) every goal!

“He's a really good player.

“He needed this, to play every three days, it's important for him for his rhythm.

“Physically, he's really good and then with the ball, we know if we give the ball to him he will turn, he will create something special because he's a really talented player.

"So, I'm happy for him with his performance and I hope he will keep playing well like this."
