Tony Mowbray’s side went on to win 5-2, in what was the final game of Elliott’s loan spell at Blackburn.
It’s safe to say he did pretty well at Ewood Park.
In 41 Championship appearances this term, Elliott scored seven goals and recorded 11 assists, which is fantastic for such a young forward.
Interestingly, that is better than any campaign Jack Grealish ever had in the Championship.
That isn’t a criticism of the Aston Villa captain.
