Elliot was buzzing after the game, with the Liverpool star thanking therapist Joe Lewis for helping him recover.
"It's so hard to put into words - that's what I'm in the team for: scoring goals and assisting,” he said.
“Today I got to do that in front of the fans. At the end of the day, that's my job.
"This is a moment that my family and I will never forget.
"I have to thank Joe Lewis - one of the physical therapists at Liverpool. He made me strong again - my mum and dad too, a big thank you to everyone at the LFC. I'm back now and the injury is behind me.
"I have to thank all the Liverpool fans for their support. It means the world to me and my family."

Cardiff boss Steve Morison, meanwhile, said: ”I’m really disappointed that we conceded a set-piece and it was two poor goals that gave them the other two.
“Coming away from Anfield frustrated that we have given them three poor goals, it is tough, because we want to win and to do things right.
“We had to withstand some pressure but I thought we did it well. We restricted them to long-distance shots if they were going to have any. We had a couple of moments and could have had a pen.
“If it is outside the box I think it gets given a foul. That is how football goes.
“And then the moment at the start of the second-half with the keeper. I personally think my striker has to get there first and go around him.
“When it doesn't happen you don't what it will be after that. So proud but frustrated."
