# Liverpool: Fans rave about Fabinho’s performance against Sheffield United

**Liverpool secured a [16th Premier League victory in a row](https://www.skysports.com/football/sheff-utd-vs-liverpool/408048) on Saturday, beating Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.**

It would be fair to say that the Reds were not at their best, with Chris Wilder’s side frustrating them for the majority of the match with a [strong defensive display](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/latest-blades-news/sheffield-united-0-1-liverpool-brave-blades-beaten-heartbreaking-fashion-638071).

However, the European champions managed to come away with all three points after Dean Henderson spilled Georginio Wijnaldum’s effort into his own net. \[[via Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/sheff-utd-vs-liverpool/408048)\]

Whilst several Liverpool players were not at their best in South Yorkshire, one man who did perform well was holding midfielder Fabinho.

The Brazilian has been an ever-present in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up this season, starting [six of their seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabinho/leistungsdaten/spieler/225693) Premier League outings as well as their [Champions League fixture against Napoli](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabinho/leistungsdaten/spieler/225693).

Against the Blades, the 25-year-old was brilliant as he made four tackles and two interceptions, won two aerial duels, made one key pass and finished the match with an impressive 89.5% pass completion (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376024/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Sheffield-United-Liverpool)).

Fabinho’s excellent performance was noticed by the Liverpool fans, many of whom took to Twitter after the game to offer praise to the former Monaco man. Here is what a few of them had to say…
