Liverpool picked up their first win of pre-season in that match with Lyon.

They went a goal down early on when Alisson Becker conceded a penalty in the third minute and Memphis Depay converted.

Roberto Firmino equalised in the 17th minute with an excellent finish from inside the box before a spectacular own goal from Joachim Anderson put the ball into his own net.

Harry Wilson’s spectacular strike from 25 yards made it 3-1 and completed a good performance for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Elliott was one of a number of youngsters who caught the eye during the game and fans were suitably impressed.

Not to over hype the lad but Harvey Elliott looks special. To be that good and confident at 16 years old. This lad is going places and I'm so glad it's in a Liverpool shirt
