Holy shit.
That was the reaction of every non-Liverpool fan watching Watford vs Liverpool on Monday Night Football, the reaction from actual Liverpool fans was, for the mast majority, undecipherable shouting and screaming.
With seconds left in the first half, and frustrated by Watford's resolute defending, Emre Can decided to throw all sense and logic out of the window and try to score the most spectacular goal of his career...
And he bloody went and did it.
An amazing bicycle kick, it was so damn good we had to break it down and have a look at it frame-by-frame.
Stage 1: Lucas spots the run.
Great vision, and a great ball, with just enough loft to say "Go on you cheeky prick, I dare you."
Stage 2: Emre Can makes the best decision of his career: "Fuck it."
There is nothing left to lose. If he takes it down he'll get clattered like Coutinho did, so go up high and try something. If you fall on your arse, you get to run off the pitch at half time.
Stage 3: The form, the irresistible form.
That's beautiful. He's set himself up for the perfect bicycle, all he has to do now is follow through...
Stage 4: A contact so perfect, it was as if time stood still.
Absolute perfection. It was one of those moments where the stadium goes silent and you can only here the 'THUD' of boot to ball.
Stage 5: Gomes decides "Nah, mate" and concedes that he is beaten.
A wide choise, Heurelho, the only thing that you could get out of diving is a bad back.
Stage 6: THE PLACEMENT. DEAR LORD THE PLACEMENT.
It's literally perfect. There should be paintings commissioned about this goal.
Stage 7: Run as fast as you can, don't mind the bodily fluids emerging.
A goal so good that you can't even do the cocky, arrogant celebration, you just have to run as fast as you bloody can. Emre Can goes so fast that saliva cannot be contained in his body.
Stage 8: Avoid your useless teammates, they don't deserve to touch you.
They will never be as good as you, so fuck them. The moment is yours, now go and collect your Klopp-hug you magnificent bastard.
Erme Can, take a bow. Take an open top bus celebration. Retire. Because it doesn't get better than that.
The faces of the Watford fans behind the goal sum it all up.
