“I [have] never seen a player like Millie who scores penalties,” Can told Liverpool’s official website after the game.

“He’s incredible in training sessions, every ball is hard in the corner, he shoots penalties very well.

“He’s quick and it’s very difficult to play against him. I’m very happy that he scored again.”

Emre Can put in yet another impressive display in midfield. The 22-year-old also played a crucial role in the lead up to Liverpool’s penalty.
