I don't think I've ever seen Harvey Elliott have a bad game. Sometimes I think we don't take him seriously because he's short (5'7") but really he has everything else but height. Speed of thought, speed across the ground, tenacity, creativity, shooting. Reminds me, more than anyone else, of Kevin Keegan. (Yes, I AM that old.)
Here's what I wrote on Mastodon about five minutes before Elliott's goal:

(Keegan was 5'8". I just looked it up.)
I'm not that old ;-) but it's an interesting comparison.
I also note that Elliott is now just one year older than Keegan was when he moved from Scunthorpe.
