Fabinho silenced his doubters and dropped a midfield masterclass in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Crystal Palce this evening.
The Brazilian took to the field at Anfield this evening knowing his side were just five points away from winning the title.
What then followed was an inspired performance from the 26-year-old who completed every single pass and won every single tackle he made before the hour mark.
On top of that, he scored an absolute piledriver to make the score 3-0 and cement victory for his side.
Fabinho has completed 100% of his passes, won 100% of his tackles, scored & assisted so far today vs. Crystal Palace.

Fans on social media have reacted to the former Monaco man's performance.
Remember when people wanted Fabinho dropped because he wasn’t playing at his best after coming back from an injury.

Liverpool took the lead in the first half thanks to a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick.
The right-back bent his strike around the wall and out of the reach of Eagles keeper Wayne Hennessey.
🎙️ "That was just pure quality."

What a free-kick from Alexander-Arnold! Hennessey has absolutely no chance!

The Reds then doubled their lead moments before half-time through Mohamed Salah's chipped effort.
Fabinho's rocket followed in the second half while Sadio Mane sealed the victory in emphatic style.
Liverpool are now two points away from Premier League glory and could even win the title before they play again.
Manchester City take on Chelsea on Thursday evening and should Pep Guardiola's side drop points, it would confirm the title for Liverpool.
