Liverpool went nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table after running out 2-0 winners at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Liverpool opened the scoring in the 30th minute of the match as Mohamed Salah converted a penalty after Cody Gakpo was brought down in the box.

However, the Reds struggled to put the game beyond the reach of the Cherries until midway through the second half.

Liverpool’s crucial second came in the 75th minute as Luis Diaz found Curtis Jones, who then teed Salah up for a superb curling finish.

Liverpool fans on social media had plenty to say about Jones, who came on as a substitute for Alexis Mac Allister on the hour.

Another said: “Have to say that’s a great assist from Jones tbh. Must hit it really hard to get it out to Salah and keep the defender on back foot.”

The praise for Jones kept coming, with one fan writing: “Credit where it’s due; very good play from Curtis Jones, from near our penalty area, all the way up inside theirs.”

Another said: “Will all the haters of Curtis Jones come out and bow down… 2-0 Salah… Curtis Jones assists.”

How Jones fared for Liverpool at Bournemouth

Jones was superb off the bench as he delivered plenty of great passes, put himself about, and provided the assist for the crucial second.

Arne Slot’s decision to replace Alexis Mac Allister – who was walking a tightrope – with Jones was another masterstroke that helped Liverpool get over the line.
