This is the stunning Liverpool goal that left the internet absolutely dumbfounded

It's not every day you see a football goal reach the very top spot of Reddit's very front page. But this, folks, is not your everyday football goal.

Can, if you're not familiar with him, is a 23-year-old German football pro who plays for England's storied Liverpool club.

Liverpool beat Watford 1-0 on Monday night - thanks to this bit of absolute brilliance from Can just before halftime.

The stunning score quickly shot to the top of Reddit as football fans watched it again and again and again.

But the internet wasn't done there - oh, no.

There were also lots of bad puns using Can's last name and exclamations about what he can do (get it?), but we'll let those be.
