Premier League: Harvey Elliott's Injury Overshadows Liverpool's Win At Leeds

Liverpool joined Chelsea and Man Utd at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-0 win at Leeds overshadowed by serious injury to Harvey Elliott.

Liverpool moved alongside Chelsea and Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-0 win at Leeds overshadowed by serious injury suffered by teenage star Harvey Elliott. The hosts' midfielder Pascal Struijk was sent-off for a challenge that appeared to break the 18-year-old's left leg midway through the second-half. By that point Liverpool were already comfortably ahead thanks to Mohamed Salah's 100th Premier League goal and Fabinho's 50th minute strike. Sadio Mane rounded off the scoring in stoppage time. However, the loss of Elliott cast a dark cloud over a positive performance for Jurgen Klopp. Elliott, who made his Premier League debut as a 16-year-old for Fulham, had broken into the Reds side with impressive early season displays against Burnley and Chelsea. Liverpool's title defence was blown off course last season by a series of long-term injuries to key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson.
