Harvey Elliott hails ‘dream’ goalscoring return in battle to make Liverpool team

Liverpool forward Harvey Elliott admits his goalscoring return from injury was a dream come true but he knows there is no easy path back into the team.

His 32-minute substitute cameo – after almost five months out with an horrific fracture dislocation of his left ankle – saw him open his account for the club in Sunday’s 3-1 FA Cup win over Cardiff.

At the beginning of the campaign, the 18-year-old surprisingly started three of the opening four Premier League matches after impressing manager Jurgen Klopp in pre-season, only for his progress to be cruelly halted an hour into a game at Leeds.
