Harvey Elliott has fired a supportive message to Jarell Quansah after assisting the Liverpool defender's first Premier League goal for the club.

Quansah has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign having made 32 appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp's side. The Reds' academy graduate has been a regular in central defence and started Monday's 3-3 draw against Aston Villa alongside Virgil van Dijk.

The 21-year-old netted Liverpool's third goal against the Villans with a superb header early in the second half at Villa Park. And Quansah has expressed his delight at scoring for his boyhood club, although acknowledged that the result was disappointing.

"Not the result we wanted today," he said on Instagram. "On a personal note, buzzing to have scored my first Premier League goal."

Elliot, who assisted Quansah's goal, commented: "Proud of you bro," followed by a red love heart emoji. Full-back Connor Bradley also commented on the post. He said: "Proud bro fully deserved!"

Liverpool will end the season at home to Wolves on Sunday in what will be Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge. Reflecting on the season, he said: “I am allowed to see just the good bits. If you carry on then you have to think about what didn't go well and make changes and adjustments of whatever. But that’s obviously not me.

“It’s interesting how Harvey has come through, he is already a while here in his fourth season, he was already among the best players before he got badly injured. He had a good game today.

“Jarell, yes, Conor, yes. James McConnell, Bobby Clark, Kaide Gordon, long long injured, back now, really good, Stefan Bajcetic, the basis is there. And all the other big guns. New influences always help, that’s how it is.

“We did what we could. If we could have done better, we probably would have. We are where we are and that’s it."
