Elliott hails 'selfish' goal

Harvey Elliott believes his impressive solo goal against Germany in the Under-21 European Championships on Wednesday has silenced his doubters.

The Liverpool midfielder registered just one goal and two assists in 32 appearances for the Reds last season.

But Elliott took great satisfaction out of scoring the second in England's 2-0 win — a victory that ensured they took maximum points from the group stage.

The 20-year-old said: "I get criticised a lot for not getting many goals and assists, especially playing in an attacking position.

"It was a great opportunity for me to go out there and be more selfish, in a way. It just opened up nicely for me and I wanted to stay cool, calm and collected and make sure I finished it off. 

"Luckily it went in the back of the net."

Lee Carsley's side will play Portugal in the quarter-finals in Kutaisi on Sunday.
