There were celebrations for three Liverpool players on Saturday as England won the European Under-21 Championships.

Just over a month on from lifting the Premier League title with the Reds, Tyler Morton, Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah made themselves European youth champions.

For Elliott, it was a second consecutive win in the tournament, with the 22-year-old part of England‘s victorious side in 2023.

This time, Liverpool‘s No.

19 played an even bigger role, scoring in every round of the competition and being crowned the rightful Player of the Tournament.

His purple patch continued on Saturday night as Elliott bagged the opening goal of the final after just five minutes.

And in flashing the ball past Germany’s Noah Atubolu, the youngster continued an amazing and unexpected Liverpool tradition.

Remarkably, Elliott was the only member of Lee Carsley’s squad to play a part in both the 2023 and 2025 finals.

In 2025, he was more of a fringe player, however, and was watching on from the bench when Liverpool teammate Curtis Jones scored the only goal of the game.

Somewhat incredibly, Jones’ goal two years ago was England’s first in the European Under-21 Championship final for 39 years, when Howard Gayle scored the second of the game in England’s 2-0 win over Spain in 1984.

Brilliantly, Gayle was also a Liverpool player at the time, having grown up in Toxteth – Jones’ neck of the woods – meaning England’s last two goals in U21 Euros finals were scored by Reds’ academy graduates.

Although Elliott is not technically a product of the Liverpool academy, he is, for now, a Liverpool player.

As a result, his goal to open the scoring on Saturday night meant England’s last three U21 Euros final goals were scored by Reds players 41 years apart.

Unfortunately, the tradition has now been broken, with Ipswich Town’s Omari Hutchinson and Marseille’s Jonathan Rowe getting further goals.

All the noise heading into this tournament was that Elliott’s days at Liverpool are numbered.

While that might still be the case, he has certainly given Arne Slot plenty to think about.

Elliott scored in four of England’s six games in the tournament, hitting a brilliant semi-final double against the Netherlands.

Stepping up to be the main man once again in the final, Liverpool’s No.

Five more across six games this summer has underlined what a goal threat Elliott can be.

It may still be that the writing is on the wall for the former Fulham talent at Anfield.
