Michael Dawson, the former player for Tottenham Hotspur, was highly impressed by the performance of Liverpool’s winger, Harvey Elliott, in their match against Burnley at Anfield. Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory, bouncing back from their previous loss to Arsenal. Elliott emerged as the standout player for Liverpool, making a significant impact after replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold at half-time.
Elliott, who can play as both a winger and a central midfielder, provided the assist for Darwin Nunez’s impressive header in the 79th minute. The 20-year-old England Under-21 international was also crucial in Liverpool’s second goal. Elliott displayed tremendous energy and showcased excellent ball retention skills, earning praise from Michael Dawson, a former Tottenham Hotspur player and Sky Sports pundit.
“I thoroughly enjoy watching him,” Dawson said. “He moves around the pitch, starting on the right and ending up on the left. He often finds himself in positions where Jurgen Klopp might prefer him to stay in his designated position. However, he still manages to impact the game and reap the rewards.”
Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title this season could see players like Harvey Elliott playing a significant role. Although he may not start every match, as seen in the Burnley game, his ability to make an impact as a substitute is noteworthy. Elliott has already proven his worth with three starts and 17 appearances off the bench in the Premier League this season, contributing one goal and two assists.
