Elliot was holding a red flare whilst celebrating the win over Chelsea. The FA have contacted the youngster to explain the situation and with flares banned from football grounds, it’s understandable. Fans often get thrown out of stadiums and even banned from matches for throwing flares onto the pitch.
Elliot is only 18-years-old and clearly got caught up in the occasion of winning his first domestic trophy with his club, especially after being involved, coming off the bench.
