Fabinho arguably conjured his best performance in a Liverpool shirt during the win over Manchester United. The Brazilian was almost flawless in midfield and the confidence was there to see for everyone as he pulled the strings in midfield for Liverpool quite effortlessly.

Despite struggling to make an impact early on in his Liverpool career, Fabinho has slowly but steadily impressed Jurgen Klopp to an extent that the German decided to hand him a starting role in such a high-intensity game in the Premier League. The midfielder's pass to find Sadio Mane was sublime, to say the least, and the weight on it was astutely measured for the Senegalese to break the deadlock.

However, that was not the only time he conjured similar output as he continued to look up and pick out passes, while also contributing to breaking up play and recycling possession to give Liverpool the upper-hand in midfield. The only reason why he is not at the top of this list is due to a certain phenomenon that turned the game on its head, and you guessed it right!
