When asked about making an impression on the UEFA Nations League contest, Jones told ITV: “I tried, I tried! The lads around helped as well.
“I just went out there and I was playing free and I had a smile on my face. I was enjoying it and I’m happy I came away with a goal as well.
“When you’ve got a team like ours I can go high and I can come low and I can get on the ball and I can play.
“There’s lads there to help and there’s also lads who said I can go [forward] as well. Jude [Bellingham] stayed back, so I saw I had a chance to go and lucky enough I scored.”
