SOCCEROOS goalkeeper Brad Jones kept a clean sheet for Dutch outfit Feyenoord as they eclipsed Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League.

Teammate Tony Vihena sealed a famous win for the Eredivisie outfit with 11 minutes to go, but Jones, who moved to Holland from Liverpool this season after five years at Anfield, had a key role to play with almost the last kick of the game. Zlatan Ibrahimovic thumped a free-kick through a crowded box from the edge of the area, and the Australian custodian, who had a quieter night than he would have expected against the Premier League giant, had to be alert to hold on to the drive with players lurking around him.

Jones, 34, has played five times so far this season in the Dutch league, with Feyenoord undefeated on top of the table coming into the Europa League opener.

He wasn’t the only former Liverpool player to consign United to defeat, with Dirk Kuyt, a fan favourite at Anfield from 2006-2012, back at the club as he finishes his career in his native Netherlands.

Their inclusion in the side against Liverpool’s bitter rivals drew a rapturous response from Reds fans after the defeat.
