The goal was Can’s first of 2017 but his celebration was just as impressive, in fact according to some Liverpool fans it was better than the goal.
Can has not had many opportunities to showcase his sliding celebration but boy oh boy he has perfected it.
The Germany international of Turkish origin slid on his knees for a few metres, while leaning back at a near impossible angle before standing up and delivering a beautifully executed head nod.
The celebration went down a storm on social media. We took a look at some of our favourite reactions to the epic knee slide.

The Liverpool heartthrob, fancied by male and female supporters alike.
Wish Emre Can was a 30 goal a season player. Not for the benefit of the club. But I can watch him do that knee slide and smile. Fit bastard

Class
@SecondCaptains Emre Can’s textbook curved knee slide just now surely warrants a mention on tomorrow’s pod. A thing of beauty.
