Keifer MacDonald takes a closer look at the important role Harvey Elliott is playing for Liverpool this season despite most of his opportunities having come from the substitutes' bench
If Harvey Elliott has learned anything from his new-found status at Liverpool, it is that less is sometimes more.
In fact, Liverpool's win in the 243rd Merseyside derby was nearly sealed with a dipping, Kop-end strike from Elliott. Despite not scoring, though, he would later enjoy the acclaim of the Kop as he beelined to Mohamed Salah to join in with his celebrations after the Egyptian had fired a game-clinching second.
Off the back of such disappointment, as the Reds dropped points for the second consecutive Premier League outing, Elliott was handed a string of much-needed outings during the international break for England's under-21s team as he starred in their 9-1 victory over Serbia before captaining the Young Lions for the first time against Ukraine three days later.
An ability to do so can be traced back to Elliott's introduction in the 62nd minute when he entered the field as part of a double substitution alongside Darwin Nunez. As has been the case on numerous occasions already this season, Elliott's arrival allowed Liverpool to increase the heat on their opponents for the final third of the game.
