It added that the incident constituted an “aggravated breach” of FA rules. The Snapchat video, taken during the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham in June, appeared to show Elliott performing an offensive impersonation of the England captain. He later issued an apology on social media, saying he was “truly sorry”. Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham in July and has already made a first-team appearance, playing the full match in Liverpool’s League Cup clash with MK Dons last month. He became the youngest debutant in Premier League history when he played for Fulham against Wolves in May at the age of 16 years and 30 days.
