Video: Harvey Elliott plays sumptuous through ball in Blackburn win | OneFootball

Harvey Elliott continued his impressive start to life at Blackburn with a sumptuous through ball in their convincing win over rivals Preston in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The Liverpool loanee picked up the ball inside his own half and split the Preston defence open with a superb pass down the middle, with Sam Gallagher latching onto it before teeing up Dolan for a tap in at the back post.

Blackburn fan account Talk Of Ewood posted the clip on Twitter, showcasing Elliott’s exquisite pass during his 19-minute cameo off the bench.
