# Liverpool: Fans drool over 2015 footage of stunning Emre Can assist

**Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to a throwback clip of Emre Can, in which the former Red produced a stunning assist.**

Early in Jurgen Klopp’s reign Liverpool did not produce anywhere near the kind of consistent results they do now, but they did throw up the occasional stunning performance.

Think the 4-3 win over Borussia Dortmund, think the 3-1 win at Chelsea or 4-1 success at the Etihad, or in this case, think smashing Southampton 6-1 in the League Cup.

The Reds romped to the big victory in [December 2015](https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2015/12/02/england/league-cup/southampton-fc/liverpool-fc/2166007/), with Divock Origi announcing himself to the Anfield faithful with a hat-trick, while Daniel Sturridge and Jordon Ibe were also on the score-sheet.

The standout moment of the match however was a remarkable assist from Can, who chopped inside a defender and curled the ball with the outside of his boot beyond the Saints defence – which included Virgil van Dijk – and into the path of Sturridge.

Lots of fans have been reflecting on the amazing piece of skill, with one even calling it ‘Gerrardesque’…
