Emre Can’s stunning long-range effort against Burnley has been named as Liverpool’s goal of the month for March.
The German’s fourth goal of the season helped his team to a hard-fought 2-1 win and recognised his rise to form in place of the injured Jordan Henderson.
Can had been subject to criticism not long before as a result of lacklustre performances and claims that he was refusing to sign a new contract.
With issues over a new deal having been put to one side for the time being, the 23-year-old has endured a strong run of games and has started having the kind of impact as a box-to-box midfielder that fans have been desperate to see.
He impressed yet again on Saturday as the Reds secured an emphatic 3-1 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby. Henderson’s absence has seemingly sparked Can’s best form of the season and given him greater responsibility in his team’s midfield trio.
Here is Liverpool’s goal of the month, as announced on Liverpoolfc.com.
