Popular football pundits – Gary Lineker and Jamie Carragher – have showered praise on Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones for his brilliant performance against Tottenham last night. 

The Reds moved to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Spurs, with Roberto Firmino scoring the winner right at the end.

Liverpool enjoyed 76% of possession and clearly dominated the match. The midfield trio of Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and Jones worked tirelessly, with the youngster putting in arguably his best performance of the season thus far.

Lineker, the former great England striker, took to Twitter to praise the 19-year-old.

What a lovely footballer @curtisjr_10 is. Gonna be a helluva player.
