"Take a bow son", "Absolutely different class once again" - Fans hail Liverpool star after his performance in 4-2 win over Tottenham

Liverpool fans on X waxed lyrical about Harvey Elliott after he had a Player of the Match performance in their 4-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield (May 5).

Elliott had a bright start to the game, unleashing a powerful shot in the ninth minute which was cleared off the line by Cristian Romero. But there was no denying Mohamed Salah seven minutes later, who did well to head the ball past Guglielmo Vicario to break the deadlock.

Liverpool were in complete control for the remainder of the first half, doubling their advantage when Andy Robertson tapped home in the 45th minute. Elliot did well to win the ball back from Emerson in the 50th minute. He delivered a pinpoint accurate cross to Cody Gakpo at the back post, making it 3-0.

Elliott then made it 4-0 with a stunning strike into the top left corner from outside the box. Tottenham threatened for the remainder of the game, making it 4-2 via Richarlison (72') and Son Heung-min (77'). But the Reds hung on to their lead to seal all three points.
