Harvey Elliott has been shining for Liverpool this season, despite limited starts. In just three starts and a total of 560 minutes, he has contributed to five goals, averaging a goal or assist every 112 minutes.
His impressive performance against Burnley earned him the Carlsberg Player of the Match award, and he made an instant impact after coming off the bench. In the second half, Elliott provided two crucial assists that helped Liverpool secure a 3-1 victory. His first assist showcased his skill as he shifted the ball onto his left foot and set up Luis Diaz for a close-range header. The second assist was a well-placed delivery into the box, resulting in a brilliant header from Darwin Nunez.
These two assists highlight Elliott’s ability to make a decisive impact on the game. With three assists in the Premier League this season, surpassing his total from last season, Elliott has proven that he deserves more starting opportunities. Earlier in the season, he expressed his desire to establish himself in the team rather than being known as a suρer sub. As Liverpool faces important matches in the coming weeks, it is time for Jurgen Klopp to grant Elliott his wish and give him more starting chances. The 20-year-old has undoubtedly earned his opportunity to shine on a regular basis.
