LIVERPOOL ace Curtis Jones opened up about recently becoming a dad in a wholesome interview after a man-of-the-match performance against Chelsea.
Jones, 23, led the Reds to a 2-1 win over the Blues at Anfield as he won the penalty that was followed by Mohamed Salah’s opener and scored the winner after Nicolas Jackson’s equaliser.
The midfielder dedicated his first goal of the season to his newborn daughter Giselle Delilah Jones and girlfriend Saffie Khan.
The couple made headlines with the joyous announcement in May that they were expecting their first child, with Saffie giving birth last week.
The pair shared photos of them holding their baby as they beamed with joy.
The ex-England youth international spoke to Sky Sports about his incredible performance against Chelsea and hinted it was a result of some extra confidence he acquired the last few days.

“So I wouldn’t have missed much sleep anyway. But I thought it was wise [to sleep in the spare room]. So I had some energy. Sorry dads around the world!”
Social media went wild after the Liverpool ace’s heartwarming statement with many praising his inspirational words.
