LIVERPOOL ace Curtis Jones made his long-awaited senior debut with England on Thursday against Greece.
Jones, 23, enjoyed a bow to remember as he also hit the back of the net during the Three Lions’ 3-0 win over the Greeks in Athens.

And the midfielder did it in style as he sealed the three points and first place in their Nations League group with a stunning flick on 83 minutes.
Morgan Gibbs-White played a clever pass from the right flank and found the popular Scouser, who beat Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos with a slick back-heel.
That was Jones’ first ever England goal at senior level, however resurfaced footage shows he has done the exact same thing before with the Under-21s.
In fact, this happened only last year in an international friendly against France at the King Power Stadium.
And just like against Greece, the Liverpool ace had scored the Young Lions’ third goal to seal the win.
Noni Madueke played a brilliant low ball from the left and found the incoming Jones who finished brilliantly with a scintillating flick.
Lee Carsley’s Young Lions went on to win 4-0, as Emile Smith Rowe, Madueke and Jacob Ramsey also got on the scoresheet.
Jones’ goal against Greece allowed England to exact revenge following last month’s embarrassing 2-1 defeat at Wembley against Ivan Jovanovic’s side.
The Three Lions are also top of their group and in charge of their destiny as a victory over the Republic of Ireland on Sunday in London will see them returning to League A.
Jones was among the standouts in Athens at a night that saw Carsley being without nine key players who dropped out.
The former England youth international made a strong case for a place in the starting line-up under incoming permanent manager Thomas Tuchel, who takes over after the match with Ireland.
