The goal was Can’s first of 2017 and his fourth overall this season which puts him on level terms with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to Can’s display on social media following the victory.
We can pretty much split the tweets in pre-goal and post-goal.
Bit of a premature reaction?
Emre Can wants £100,000 a week ???

Emre Can's intelligence in tackling and positioning is too often absolutely woeful.

I really hope Emre Can cuts himself shaving for the next Nivea advert.

Emre Can fouls a Burnley player. Yellow card for Granit Xhaka.

For the Can haters…
Now for the post-goal reaction…
Does he really deserve to be getting stick or is it just that Paul Pogba has been worse?
Premier League this season:
Emre Can 4 goals 21 games
Paul Pogba 4 goals 25 games
Remember, half those games Can came on from the bench

Does he deserve the £100,000 a-week his agent is reportedly asking for?
