There were a few critics and the decision did divide opinion – among non Liverpool fans.
@SkySportsMNF @SkyFootball @WatfordFC Wasn’t even the best bicycle kick of the season smh

How on earth has Emre Can won goal of the season. Carrolls, Girouds, and Mhiktaryans all far better…

@daniel6785 @SkySportsMNF @SkyFootball @WatfordFC Wasn’t talking about scorpion kicks, by I think Giroud should have got it overall. I still personally think Carolls was a better goal….

Liverpool fans thought otherwise.
@GNev2 lets be honest, if paul pogba scored the goal emre can did not only would it be goal of the season but sky would make a doc about it

@Dimension52Max @SkySportsMNF @SkyFootball @WatfordFC If you’re thinking about Giroud and Henrik they were scorpion kicks and Carrolls bicycle kick was much easier than Can’s

WINNER: Emre Can’s bicycle kick wins Sky Sports Goal of The Season, over both Giroud & Mkhitaryan’s scorpions. Get in Lad!

@L_EToffee @SkySportsMNF @WatfordFC Cos if you even had a clue about football u would know how hard Cans actually is to pull off and you see ones like Carrolls every season??

@SkySportsMNF @WatfordFC It wins for me because the Giroud & Mkhitaryan goals are more hit and hope rather than aim for where they went in. Can then Carroll for me.

Can has started in the Reds last 12 league games of which only two have ended in defeat.
The Germany international of Turkish origin has a total of five goals and three assists in all competitions for the Reds.
The 23-year-old has just over 12 months remaining on his contract but has yet to sign a new deal.
Liverpool will take on Middlesbrough next in their final game of the season. Can is expected to start.
Scorpion kicks are flicks, they’re lucky, they’re hit and miss with intention. Can’s was superbly executed, not coming off a shin but absolutely perfect and was a difficult take.
