Remember the name.

In what will likely be the answer to a trivia question in the distant future, Emre Can was the producer of Liverpool's first goal under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The moment came in the 37th minute of the Merseyside club's Europa League fixture versus Rubin Kazan at Anfield, as Can merely needed to blast the ball across the goal line after Divock Origi headed down a free-kick from Philippe Coutinho.

Klopp's first match as manager of Liverpool came on Saturday at White Hart Lane, but the Reds played out a scoreless draw against Tottenham Hotspur, keeping football's hippest manager in search of the first goal of his tenure.
