'A special player for moments' - Klopp impressed by Elliott's Liverpool debut

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke glowingly of Harvey Elliott after he became the youngest player to make a competitive start for the Reds in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over MK Dons .

Elliott, 16 years and 174 days old, impressed on his debut on Wednesday, though he missed a golden chance early on when he turned James Milner's delivery against the crossbar.

Stuart Moore's calamitous error from Milner's 41st-minute strike gifted Liverpool the lead, however, and despite a spirited display from the home side Ki-Jana Hoever's header wrapped up the result.
