# Liverpool: Fans salivate over Harvey Elliott strike for Blackburn Rovers

**Many [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/) fans were astonished by loanee Harvey [Elliott](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/harvey-elliott/) and his goal for Blackburn Rovers during his side’s [2-1](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3414134/matchfacts/blackburn-rovers-vs-norwich-city) 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](https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldTalk/status/1337794039849115649)).

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](https://lfcglobe.co.uk/jurgen-klopp-praises-harvey-elliott-takumi-minamino-following-blackpool-win/)), 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.
