Emotional Harvey Elliott posts on social media after breaking down in Liverpool TV interview

Liverpool's remarkable 9-0 victory against Bournemouth was one to remember for Harvey Elliott.

The 19-year-old scored the Reds' second goal of the afternoon rout with a brilliant curling left-foot finish, helping Jurgen Klopp's side to collect their first three points of the season.

But after finding the net, the former Fulham youngster dropped to his knees and buried his head in the Anfield turf before being mobbed by his teammates.

He then broke down in tears during a post-match interview with LFCTV.

Elliott's significant emotion after scoring was later explained on his own social media account. Posting on Instagram, he said " That win was for you Nan! Rip my queen."

The post was accompanied by a photograph of Elliott's grandparent from when he was a child and a series of stills from the aftermath of his Anfield Road end strike.

Elliott has appeared in all four of Liverpool's opening Premier League matches this season, making the starting XI for the past three. His beautiful first half goal was his first in the Premier League for the Reds. His only other previous goal for Liverpool's first team was against Cardiff City last season in the FA Cup fourth round - a competition the Reds went onto win.

Elliott will be hoping to add to his tally this season but has already made huge strides by seemingly securing a first team place for himself.
