>> The degree of difficulty on Emre Can’s brilliant goal for Liverpool in a 1-0 victory at Watford on Monday only enhanced the extraordinary finish. Consider the angle of the service (straight on, not crossed), the trajectory of the ball and Can moving forward instead of being able to line up his shot from a stationary position.
Liverpool moved into third place, three points ahead of Manchester City, which has played one fewer match. The first three will receive automatic berths in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. Can’s goal was his fifth of the league campaign; his previous high was three with Bayer Leverkusen three years ago.
