Liverpool drew 2-2 against Tottenham at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
Reds star Emre Can did not put on a particularly noteworthy display but there was one incident that really got the fans talking.
The midfielder of Turkish origin was involved in a bizarre incident that involved him making a tackle that would have been expected on an American Football pitch – or in a Rugby game, or WWE wrestling.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to tackle on social media.
