Liverpool fans rave over Fabinho v Man Utd

COMMENTARY

He might not have been everyone’s cup of tea at the start of the season – including Jurgen Klopp – but Fabinho has gone from strength to strength at Liverpool as the campaign has progressed. His latest outing – coming in the Reds’ visit to fierce rivals Manchester United – had the Anfield faithful head over heels as he dominated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men in the middle of the Old Trafford pitch and he looks to have silenced any critics that might have remained. It would have been no easy task coming up against a Paul Pogba who is in the best form of his Manchester United career but Fabinho dealt with the Frenchman admirably, keeping him and his teammates quiet for large periods of the game. Having returned to the midfield after being a makeshift right back, it is quite clear the middle of the park is where he belongs and he will prove to be absolutely crucial between now and the end of the season in their hunt for the title. What a rise it has been for the Brazilian.
