Even Gary Lineker got in on the act with this ever so slightly cheesy tweet.
Can he? You bet he can. Sensational goal from Emre Can.

Better than Paul Pogba?
If Pogba scored that Emre Can goal, Sky Sports would dedicate a new channel for it and put it on every Premier League advert for a decade

We paid £9.75m for Emre Can which means 9 Emre Can’s gets you the dabbing Yusuf Mulumbu.

A few Liverpool fans felt that he earned the right to a new contract after the goal.
@empireofthekop Well think he’s earned that new contract now

@empireofthekop @the4thofficialz Not bad for someone who most LFC fans think does not deserve new contract
