The assist was Can’s first in a Liverpool shirt since joining from Bayer Leverkusen on a £9.75 million move in the summer.
Can started the game as a defender for the 10th game running but was pushed forward into a midfield position as Liverpool went in search of an equaliser.
The 21-year-old thrived in central midfield, his assiduousness and passing range helped the Reds in the final third and he showed what he can add to the attack when he hit the cross bar with a long range effort.
Can joined Liverpool as a central midfielder but has been used primarily as a defender by Brendan Rodgers.
