Watford 0-1 Liverpool: Emre Can scores outrageous overhead kick as the Reds steal a march on their rivals in the race for the Champions League places

Emre Can slid on his knees towards Jurgen Klopp and let out a roar. Liverpool's Germans are plotting a route back into Europe and devised a spectacular way to launch the re-entry plan.

Can is a midfielder valued for his industry but he surged forward in the final seconds before the half-time interval and his run was picked out.

Lucas Leiva clipped a pass in his direction from midfield and Can leapt and twisted and made sweet contact with a bicycle kick which flashed past Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
