'He's a special player' - Gomez blown away by Liverpool debutant Elliott

The 16-year-old caught the eye as the Reds beat MK Dons in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night

Joe Gomez hailed the “special” talents of Harvey Elliott after the teenager’s eye-catching senior debut for Liverpool at MK Dons.

The 16-year-old produced a performance beyond his years as Jurgen Klopp’s much-changed Reds side saw off their League One opponents 2-0 on Wednesday night to book their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Elliott was voted Liverpool’s official man of the match – although another teenager, Curtis Jones, was given the award by Sky Sports – and could have marked his first competitive appearance for the club with a goal, hitting the bar in both the first and second half.
