Liverpool midfield Harvey Elliott, speaking to Amazon Prime: "It is hard to put into words. All my life I've dreamt of playing Champions League football, not only for my boyhood club, but to play here at Anfield in front of our fans and especially to score is a pinch me moment.

"The family are here watching down and it is an amazing feeling but it is done now - I need to go into training tomorrow and make sure I'm putting the work in again.

On what Slot said to him at half-time: "He just said go out and play and enjoy the game and do it for ourselves really. I wanted to go on and affect the game but also enjoy it.

"I've dreamt as a kid of playing on this stage so I just wanted to enjoy the moment and take it all in my stride and help the team out."

On his celebration: "It is pretty clear to be honest - I am not leaving. This is my team and my club.

"I'm a massive fan and we're in a great position so far this season. I haven't really seen the chat, but my friends have messaged me and called me about a few things. It is always going to happen in January, especially after being out for a long time and not playing as much as I want to, but that is football.

"I've had conversations with the gaffer but, at the same time, I need to understand the situation. The team is flying - we are first in the Premier League and Champions League. For me to go in and say I should be starting it would be silly of myself really. You know what the answer is going to be.

"I need to stay patient and when I am getting opportunities, however long it is, just enjoy the moment, especially after being injured for three months at the start of the season.

"I just want to enjoy my football and when a chance comes I need to show the gaffer that if I am needed I am ready."

This season has been "difficult" for Harvey Elliott, according to Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah.

The 21-year-old suffered a broken foot early in the season and has been restricted to just substitute appearances in the Premier League and Champions League so far this campaign.

He is starting to have an impact though.

He assisted Darwin Nunez's second goal at Brentford on Saturday and his deflected strike was the winner here.

There has been speculation that Elliott may leave Anfield in the January transfer window but he was quick to shut that down post-match saying "I'm not leaving - this is my team and my club".

With Liverpool still fighting on all four fronts then Elliott is picking a good time to return to form and lift his output.

Liverpool goalscorer Mo Salah, speaking to Amazon Prime: "Hopefully not the last one but I'm very proud of it. I wasn't focused on it before the game.

"They have a really good game plan and they were unbeaten for 21 games so they're a quite tough team. I'm glad we managed to win that game.

On his goal: "We got the ball and Curtis [Jones] played the ball very well finally and I managed to score.

"Not switched off but they went to counter-attack and managed to score. The clean sheet is very important to us and our backline.

On Harvey Elliott: "He had injuries at the start of the season and it's been difficult for him. I'm always here for him, he's a great lad. When you want to win the biggest tournaments, you need a great squad.

On Liverpool squad who won Champions League in 2019: "It's a different manager, different player. We have three, four, five, six from the other squad."
