Elliott dazzles to give Klopp revamp a lift

AMID the misery of Manchester United’s performance at Anfield, Liverpool’s stirring display provided plenty of hope that this could be a springboard to a new era of success as the first team built by Jurgen Klopp begins to break up. Liverpool had outstanding performers all over the pitch but there was none better than Harvey Elliott, who dazzled United’s midfield with his energy, his technique and his passing. Liverpool have spent much of this season fretting about their future, but Elliott’s performance, and the way new signings Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are starting to settle in, suggests that the period of transition may not be as painful as many had feared.
