“Harvey Elliott Fires Back at Everton Fans in Explosive Post-Derby Interview”
“Harvey Elliott Shuts Down Everton Fans in Fiery Interview After Merseyside Derby”
Harvey Elliott took a swipe at Everton fans, belittling the atmosphere at Goodison Park after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw in the final Merseyside derby at the historic venue.
It seemed like Everton’s rivals had snatched all three points in the last encounter between the two teams at Goodison before the Toffees’ move to the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium. Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead in the 73rd minute after Alexis Mac Allister had leveled the score in the 16th, following Beto’s opener in the 11th minute.
James Tarkowski scored a dramatic equalizer in the 90+8th minute, sparking wild celebrations from the fans in the Gwladys Street Stand. It was a frantic conclusion to the derby, with Liverpool players arguing the goal should have been ruled out for a foul on Ibrahima Konate, but VAR saw no reason to intervene.
Harvey Elliott, however, wasn’t shy about taking a jab at Everton supporters, claiming that only Liverpool fans were truly “felt” during the match.
Although Elliott didn’t feature in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Everton, he had plenty to say when asked about the game and the atmosphere inside the packed Goodison Park. He admitted the late equalizer was frustrating, noting it “felt more like a loss” for the team.
When asked about the emotions at the final whistle, especially with the crowd’s roar, Elliott reflected on how intense the atmosphere had been, emphasizing how much the fans’ reaction played into the sense of disappointment.
Elliott responded, “Not really, I didn’t feel the crowd… yeah, I felt the roar of Liverpool fans.”

Elliott smirked as he walked away, clearly aiming to provoke Everton fans with his remarks. However, he wasn’t the only player trying to get under the skin of the rival fanbase. Abdoulaye Doucoure of Everton was shown a second yellow and a red card after the match for taunting the Liverpool supporters, while Curtis Jones of Liverpool also saw red following a heated altercation with the Malian midfielder.
Arne Slot was also shown a red card after the match for an overly aggressive handshake with referee Michael Oliver, while his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, was sent off for his protests over Tarkowski’s late equalizer. It was a dramatic end to the Merseyside derby, showcasing the intensity of the rivalry, which remains as fiery as ever ahead of Everton’s move to their new stadium next season.
