Harvey Elliott explains emotional celebration after first Premier League goal for Liverpool

Harvey Elliott has admitted it was a "dream" to score a Premier League goal as he helped Liverpool claim their first win of the season by thrashing Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.

The 19-year-old, who made the move to Anfield from Fulham in the summer of 2019, has made no secret of his affinity to his boyhood club during his years on Merseyside so far, and that was no different on Saturday afternoon when he was on hand to curl home the Reds' second goal of the match just six minutes into the first half.

Racing onto Roberto Firmino's lay-off just outside the box, the England under-21 midfielder struck a fine curling effort past Cherries goalkeeper Mark Travers before breaking out into an emotional knee-slide and later pointing to his family, who have been regular watchers of his matches at Anfield since 2019.
