Harvey Elliott won’t forget his first goal for Liverpool just yet
Liverpool striker Harvey Elliott may not be a household name, but his first goal for the Reds will be one he won’t forget any time soon.
The 17-year-old became the youngest player to score for Liverpool since Michael Owen in 1998 when he netted during his side’s FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves on Tuesday night.
It was an emotional moment for the teenager – and it was clear from his reaction that he did not expect to score so soon after joining the club.
Conclusion
Liverpool will now face Brighton in the next round of the FA Cup. The Seagulls are currently fourth in the Premier League and will be hoping that they can cause an upset against Klopp’s side. However, it will be a tough task for them as Liverpool are unbeaten in their last nine matches at Anfield.
