Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott will have plenty of momentum heading into the new season. That's because both players had a big part in securing the U-21 European championships for England.
Jones earned Player Of The Match in the Final, scoring the game-winner to top Spain 1-0. In all, he made 5 starts during the competition, scoring two goals, and was also the Player Of The Match vs Isreal. As for Elliott, he saw crucial minutes in 5 matches off of the bench, scoring one goal in the group stage vs.Germany. As a result, the Reds' duo helped England capture their first U-21 European title since 1984.
“We did it!!! We are history makers,” Elliott tweeted after the match “History makers, a night I'll never forget. Thank you to everyone involved!!!”
LFC Globe Verdict
This title bodes extremely well for the future of Liverpool football. Jones and Elliott are young stars of the game and I expect them to lift many more trophies for club and country throughout their careers.
