Harvey Elliott put troubled Liverpool back on track with the sublime strike that sealed a 1-0 win at Wolves in Tuesday's FA Cup third-round replay.
Liverpool’s English midfielder Harvey Elliott scores his team first goal past Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Portuguese goalkeeper Jose Sa during the FA Cup third round football match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool FC at the Molineux stadium in Wolverhampton, central England on January 17, 2023.
But Elliott’s brilliant long-range effort in the first half at Molineux secured a much-needed first victory in four games in all competitions. In the bout of soul-searching that followed that embarrassment, Klopp said his struggling team needed to go “back to basics”. Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker were among those left out, but Liverpool’s understudies rose to the challenge.
But the 19-year-old Elliott offers hope for the future, a point he underlined by running unchecked from the halfway line before blasting a superb strike over Jose Sa from 25 yards.Sa was caught too far off his line but that should not detract from the quality of Elliott’s first goal since October. Wolves’ best chance to draw level came when Jimenez couldn’t head home on the goalline from Traore’s cross as Joe Gomez got the crucial block.
