Many Liverpool fans were astonished by loanee Harvey Elliott and his goal for Blackburn Rovers during his side’s 2-1 defeat to Norwich City.
The 17-year-old made the move from Merseyside to Lancashire in the summer to gain more first-team experience.

Elliott scored a stunning equaliser which cancelled out Teemu Pukki’s opener for the visitors. Picking up the ball from the right-hand side, he dashed past two Canaries’ defenders before cheekily poking the ball past Michael McGovern (via The Anfield Talk).
Klopp is a huge fan of Elliott and was impressed with what from him during pre-season. With the addition of Diogo Jota to the Anfield ranks (cited by Anfield Globe), it was inevitable that the Englishman would be sent out on loan to accumulate more senior minutes.

Unsurprisingly, supporters flooded in a wave of positive responses, adamant that he is a player for the future on the world stage.
Fans drool over Elliott
