Liverpool midfielder, Emre Can said he could not remember ever scoring a better goal than his fantastic overhead volley that helped his side beat Watford 1-0 in a Premier League game on Monday night.
Lucas Leiva found Can in the box and delivered a lofted pass which the German timed his leap perfectly while still on the run and made firm contact with his right foot while nearly upside-down to put the ball into the top corner.
And the strike was the only goal of the game.
Can told Sky Sports, “I have never scored a goal like that — maybe when I was younger. That is the best goal I’ve ever scored.
“I saw the space and I ran behind and my first thought was that I wanted to head it, then I didn’t think too much.”
The win put Liverpool three points ahead of Manchester City and four above Manchester United, though both top-four rivals have a game in hand.
Can added, “The most important thing was three points after knowing what happened yesterday.
“It was a big game for us.
“Everything is in our hands. If we win the three games we are in the Champions League. We are confident. If we perform how we can perform then we can do it.”
