Liverpool star Harvey Elliott delivered masterclass in the England U21 game on Thursday night, as he scored twice and assisted once in their emphatic victory.
The attacker scored twice and went on to assist a third as the Young Lions thrashed Serbia 9-1 in European qualifying.
Elliott has already cemented his place in the Liverpool starting XI with 9 games to his name this season. He has played 163 minutes in the Premier League for the Reds and has been brilliant. The young star will now hope to keep on after playing arguably the best game of his career so far.
Liverpool star Elliott played a near perfect game for England U21
Elliott got his first goal in first-half injury time, firing into the top-corner of the opposition net from range. His next contribution was a cross for Jonathan Rowe’s 89th-minute header. Later, the Liverpool ace wrapped up the score in the 91st minute with a calm finish.
The Young Lions actually conceded first in the 27th minute and trailed into the latter stages of the first half. However, Jaden Philogene struck back in the 38th minute, and from then on, the floodgates well and truly opened.
Him, Elliott and Noni Madueke all ended the game with a brace to their names. Liam Delap, Nathan Rowe and Luka Subotic’s own goal kept the scoreline ticking for Lee Carsley’s side.
However, Elliott was rewarded a perfect 10/10 game by Sofascore as he played one of the best games of his career. He took 94 touches of the ball, registered five key passes, delivered four accurate long balls and three accurate crosses.
It would be exciting to see him continue to develop as a player and get even better. After a perfect performance from the Liverpool youngster, fans will be expecting him to carry over his international form at club level.
