Carvalho was so impressed by ‘outstanding’ Liverpool teammate last night

Liverpool youngster Fabio Carvalho was really impressed with teammate Harvey Elliott after he scored his first Champions League goal.

The summer signing from Fulham made his Champions League debut at Ibrox last night.

Although he played the full 90 minutes, Carvalho wasn’t able to get on the scoresheet.

One player who did, was fellow Fulham academy graduate Harvey Elliott.

Elliott scored the seventh and final goal of the rout, although it was initially ruled out for offside.

However, the 19-year-old patiently waiting in front of the Liverpool fans with hat-trick hero Mohamed Salah.

The goal was eventually given and Elliott got to celebrate his first Champions League goal in front of Liverpool’s travelling fans.

Carvalho impressed with ‘outstanding’ Elliott

Speaking to Liverpool’s official website about Elliott, Carvalho said: “Even when the decision went his way for the goal, I was celebrating it like it was my goal!

“I’m just so happy for him because he had an outstanding game.

“This time I didn’t get a goal but it’s equally as good for him to get the goal.”

Carvalho and Elliott are two of Liverpool’s most exciting prospects.

The pair have had to step up in Jurgen Klopp’s side this season given the number of injuries Liverpool have suffered in midfield.

Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thiago Alcantara have all had been unavailable at times this season.

However, if Elliott and Carvalho keep putting in impressive performances, Klopp will have some difficult decisions to make.

Until then, the England under-21 international can enjoy his maiden Champions League strike.
