Liverpool triumphed courtesy of a stunner from the Germany midfielder, who ranked the goal as the finest he has scored
Emre Can reflected on the "best goal I ever scored" after his sensational bicycle kick helped Liverpool secure a potentially priceless 1-0 win at Watford.
The Germany midfielder leapt at Lucas Leiva's dinked pass into the area before acrobatically beating Heurelho Gomes to put the Reds in front at Vicarage Road on the stroke of half-time.
It proved a decisive goal for Liverpool, who had earlier hit the crossbar through the returning Adam Lallana, and they are now four points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United – albeit having played a game more – in the race for Champions League football.
