(Video) Fabinho channels inner van Dijk to deny deadly Man Utd counter-attack

Posted by

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has played most of this season as a makeshift centre-half in the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez – and he’s done a top-class job so far.

There was one highlight from our 0-0 draw with Manchester United over the weekend which really exemplified how much our No.3 is thriving in his new role.

Not dissimilar to van Dijk’s well-known 2v1 situation against Spurs in 2019, Fabinho held off both Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani to safeguard Alisson’s penalty area.

Take a look at the video below (via beIN Sports):
