Harvey Elliott broke down in tears after dedicating his goal in Liverpool's thumping win over Bournemouth to his nan, who sadly passed away this week.
Elliott scored the second of Liverpool ’s nine goals as they thrashed the Cherries at Anfield on Saturday afternoon to record their first Premier League win of the season in style. The young midfielder curled in a wonderful strike from the edge of the area after just six minutes to make it 2-0 and was influential in helping the Reds rack up a record-equalling victory for the division.
After scoring, the 19-year-old reacted with joy, pumping the air with his fist before waving into the stands and dropping down to his knees, overcome with emotion as he looked to the sky. Elliott explained post-match that he was thinking about his grandmother.
