Harvey Elliott, currently on loan at Aston Villa from Liverpool, found himself at the center of attention during Villa’s Premier League clash against Everton at Goodison Park on September 13, 2025.
The match ended in a 0–0 draw, with both sides unable to break the deadlock despite Everton dominating possession and creating more chances.
Elliott, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, was met with persistent boos from the home crowd throughout the match—a reflection of the deep-rooted Merseyside rivalry. Though he didn’t score or assist, Elliott delivered a composed performance in midfield, helping Villa maintain structure and resist Everton’s pressure.
At full-time, Elliott responded to the hostile atmosphere with a bold gesture: he held up his fingers to form the numbers “3” and “0,” a pointed reference to Everton’s 30-year wait for a major trophy. The moment, captured by cameras and quickly circulated online, sparked debate among fans and pundits alike. Some viewed it as cheeky banter, while others criticized it as unnecessary provocation.
Elliott’s loan move to Aston Villa was finalized earlier this summer, with Liverpool aiming to provide the 22-year-old with regular top-flight minutes.
