Harvey Elliott let out his frustrations by flashing two fingers at someone just seconds after England Under-21s' Euros triumph against Germany.

Elliott opened the scoring five minutes into what turned out to be a ping-pong game in Bratislava, which saw the Three Lions blow a two-goal lead, forcing extra time.

England held on to claim their second consecutive U21 Euro title, yet Elliott's immediate reaction revealed a mix of resentment and jubilation.

It is unclear exactly who the Liverpool midfielder's two-fingered salute was aimed towards.

Nevertheless, Elliott's performances over the last few weeks will certainly overshadow his post-game antics, as he was undoubtedly England's star of the tournament, especially during the knockout phase.

The 22-year-old scored once in the last eight against Spain, a brace against the Netherlands in the semi-finals, and again on Saturday night as his nation was crowned champions.

His performances earned him the Player of the Tournament award, which was presented to him amid the full-time celebrations.
