Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson has spoken about team-mate Harvey Elliott after coming on as a second-half substitute to change the game in the Premier League match with Burnley at Anfield on February 10. The Reds came back to win against the Clarets but had to work hard to secure all three points.
Diogo Jota scored the first goal in the 31st minute of the first half and Dara O’Shea equalized with a header in the 45th minute of the second half. Trent Alexander-Arnold came on for Harvey Elliott at half-time due to injury. The 20-year-old helped Liverpool to victory with outstanding performances for Luis Diaz (52′) and Darwin Nunes (79′). Robertson in an interview with LFC TV (via HITC):“It hasn’t been easy coming off the bench the past few weeks, but Harv always seems to make an impact. “In the second half, I thought I was in a different class,” he said.
He added:”He started disrespecting the game, he started doing things, he started fooling us. He was a great lad and fair play to him. His attitude is always right. He always gives his all for this team and that’s what we need. It’s a whole team effort.”In addition to the assist, Elliott had a big shot, shot 85 percent and had three rebounds. He has had a solid season so far for the Reds, scoring one goal and providing three assists in 32 appearances in all competitions.
