Emre can played the full 90 minutes during Liverpool’s 2-0 win over their bitter rivals Manchester United in the Europa League.
The 22-year-old was deployed in central midfield alongside the club captain Jordan Henderson.
Following the final whistle, we took to social media to see how Emre Can’s performance went down with the fans. The 22-year-old was widely praised for his role in his sides win and was even likened to a monster in midfield.
Emre Can was awesome again. Lallana is becoming very effective and starting to produce. Allen was excellent when he came on too. #LFC

Emre Can the last month or so has been ridiculous.

Emre Can a bit of an unsung hero at the minute in my opinion. Quality player! #LFC

Emre Can playing out his skin. Clyne spectacular at right back. Lallana with another crucial performance and an assist.

Daniel Sturridge put the home side ahead after scoring from the penalty spot while Roberto Firmino doubled the Reds lead in the second half. Jurgen Klopp’s side go to to Old Trafford next week with a two-goal advantage which could prove decisive
Liverpool would have scored again were it not for the heroics of United keeper De Gea who faced eight shots on target and made a string of remarkable saves.
United are now without a win in their last six knockout games in all competitions but will have the chance to redeem themselves in the second-leg at Old Trafford next week.
