'So happy for him': Liverpool fans hail Harvey Elliott as the 'best teenager in football' as the 18-year-old returns from injury and scores within 18 minutes of coming on against Cardiff

Liverpool fans were delighted to see Harvey Elliott mark his return to action with a goal in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Cardiff in the FA Cup.

The teenager suffered a serious ankle injury against Leeds in September and has been sidelined for the last five months.

He returned to training in January, before Jurgen Klopp brought him on as a 58th-minute substitute at Anfield this afternoon.
