Curtis Jones has said that Liverpool will quickly move on from their dramatic 3-3 draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League.
The Reds were involved in an exhilarating encounter at St. James’ Park on Wednesday evening, where the two sides shared the spoils after a hard-fought contest.
Alexander Isak gave the hosts the lead in the first half, but Jones equalised for Liverpool just five minutes after the break.
Newcastle regained the advantage shortly after the hour mark through Anthony Gordon, but Mohamed Salah’s brace then put Liverpool ahead.
However, it was Fabian Schär who had the final word, scoring in the dying seconds of regular time to ensure the game ended in a draw.
Reflecting post-match, Curtis Jones told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s simple. I think the first half was poor and the second half was good. We got our goals, we had all the ball and dominated. It’s simple. We’ll take our point and move on.”
“I think a team like us and how we’ve played and with the teams we’ve beat, we have to win these games. It’s a hard place to come and play. They’re a good team and they’ve got great fans – it helps them as well.
“The first half was tough. We were terrible and then we upped it in the second half. I scored and it changed the whole of the game and we were back [in it]. I’m gutted we couldn’t take the three points, but we’ll take a point. That’s fine.”
He added: “It’s the energy I think. That’s what’s been great. We’ve dominated games and had all the ball and scored great, great goals. But if you look at the stats and how much we’ve run and pressed, that’s been the main thing.
“I think in the first half we were sloppy. We were slow, lost a load of duels and we picked up soft [yellow] cards. That just shows you’re a little bit slow in your tackles. It’s one of them days. In the second half we showed us. We’ve got a great team and a great camp. We never quit.”
On his his 150th appearance for Liverpool on the night, the England international said: “It means everything.
“It’s as simple as that. I’m a kid who came through the Academy.
“I’m a Scouser myself, I’ve supported the club for the whole of my life, so I hope there’s more and more games.”
