Emre Can has his first goal for Germany.

As our headline suggests, we're reasonably confident that the Liverpool midfielder won't score a better one for as long as he plays international football. Already 4-1 up against Azerbaijan in Kaiserslautern, Can picked the ball up around 30-yards from goal and let fly.

All in all, Sunday wasn't a bad night for Liverpool's players. Mo Salah scored twice for Egypt - the second of which was a qualification-clinching stoppage-time penalty. They will now return to Merseyside ahead of their Saturday lunchtime meeting with Manchester United at Anfield.
