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.
Jones said: “It’s the best thing ever, I’m playing with a smile on my face. It’s a different type of joy.
“I was in the spare room [last night]! But she’s a little dream, she wants a feed and change and back asleep.
“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!”
