Harvey Elliott Scores Goal of The Season Contender vs Tottenham with Ridiculous Left-Foot Strike

• Harvey Elliot scored a stunner for Liverpool against Tottenham
• Liverpool rekindled their faint title hopes with a 4-2 win on Sunday
• Elliot’s goal was arguably the best one scored that afternoon

Harvey Elliott scored a goal-of-the-season contender on Sunday, May 5, as Liverpool ran riot against Tottenham Hotspur in a thriller.

Liverpool initially went 3-0 up thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo, with Elliot putting the icing on the cake with a ridiculous left-foot finish.

Elliott's goal came from Salah, who poked the ball into the young midfielder's path for him to hit an unstoppable shot past Guglielmo Vicario.

The 21-year-old was a constant menace for Tottenham, as he also set up Gakpo’s goal.

He picked Emerson Royal’s pockets before crossing the ball to the Dutchman, who rose above Cristian Romero to head home, according to BBC.

Liverpool teammates marvel at Elliott

Clips and images of the goal have since gone viral on social media, and Liverpool players were equally awed by just how good Eliott’s goal was.

Gakpo, in particular, was in disbelief, and a video captured the Dutch midfielder with his hands on his head, moments before congratulating Elliott.

Tottenham threatened to mount an unlikely comeback as Richarlison turned in Brennan Johnson’s cross in the 72nd minute before unselfishly setting up Son Heung Min for his team’s second goal five minutes later.

Elsewhere, Sports Brief reported on Nicolas Jackson’s impressive feat as he matched Didier Drogba’s goal tally in his debut season for Chelsea.

Jackson scored a brace as Chelsea thrashed West Ham 5-0 at Stamford Bridge.

His two goals took his tally in 2023/24 to 16 goals, the same as Drogba’s during the Chelsea legend’s first season at the club in 2004.
