Harvey Elliott: It was an unbelievable performance and response from us

Harvey Elliott reflected on an 'unbelievable' performance from Liverpool in the 9-0 win over AFC Bournemouth on what was an emotional day for the 19-year-old.

Elliott opened his Premier League account by scoring the Reds' second in the emphatic victory, curling in a beauty from the edge of the penalty area after just six minutes. 

The effort helped Jürgen Klopp's side deliver the club its biggest ever victory in the Premier League, with the afternoon particularly significant for the No.19 and his family.

It was unbelievable and the perfect response for us in all fairness to score as many goals as we did, to top off a great win but more importantly get the three points. It's a dream for us and definitely a stepping stone to the next games. We're just going to use it as confidence and motivation to put it right again on Wednesday.

Definitely. I think there was a lot of pressure on us players to go out and put on a performance today. We certainly did that, so it's a massive relief. To score five in the first half, it was a dream start for us. The boys played unbelievably throughout the game. And big congratulations to the young lads as well who have deserved their chance and deserved to be playing – they're the ones that keep us going throughout training. It's massive relief for us and we're just so excited for Wednesday.

Just shoot. I've had a few chances here and there, especially in the Palace game, but luckily today the ball hit the back of the net. It was just a great feeling to score at Anfield – not just any goal but a goal like that, it's always worth the hard work. To hear the crowd roar, for me personally it's great and hopefully many more to come. 

Yeah, my nan passed away a few days ago, so just for her really and the three points.

Bobby's a great player, as well as a great guy. It's always a great thing to play with him. He's unselfish in many ways but just for his confidence today, it was unbelievable. 

Yeah, it's back to the busy stage now. Recovery's very important, we just need to keep on going and use today as motivation but not get too excited about it because Newcastle is another hard game and then Everton as well. We've got hard games and everyone we play in the Premier League is very hard. It's just how we come back and make sure we put on another performance like we did today.
