Liverpool star Emre Can: Teams will respect us after Man City performance

Emre Can has urged his Liverpool teammates to kick-on after their remarkable 4-3 win over Manchester City.

The Reds became the first team to beat City in the league this season.

They now sit in third place on the table, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference, and Can says they must look to carry on the momentum.

"Of course against Manchester City we played brilliant," said the German international.

"If the teams saw us playing like that, they will give us a lot of respect and we will take a lot of confidence.

"If teams watch our performance they will think 'oh wow!' They will see we are a strong side.

"Every single player performed and did an amazing job. Sadio (Mane), Roberto (Firmino), Mo (Salah), they scored the goals, but Robbo (Andrew Robertson), Joel (Matip), Joe (Gomez) did an amazing job. We don't have to pick one player.

"We have played a lot of games that are very good but this one? It was one of the best we have done, for sure.

"But this is just one game, it is just three points, and we have to keep going," Can added.
