# Liverpool fans react to amazing statistic regarding Fabinho at centre-back

A number of Liverpool supporters are even more confident about Fabinho’s new role as a centre-back, following the emergence of an eye-catching statistic.

The Brazilian was exceptional in the Reds’ 1-0 victory away to Ajax on Wednesday night, allowing his side to keep a clean-sheet and get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start.

A midfielder by trade, Fabinho has already filled in at the back this season, producing a star showing away to Chelsea, in which [This Is Anfield](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2020/09/chelsea-0-2-liverpool-player-ratings/) gave him a nine-out-of-10 rating.

With Virgil van DIjk now possibly not playing again this season due to a [cruciate ligament injury](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/10/18/van-dijk-ruled-out-for-months-with-cruciate-ligament-injury/), it may that the 26-year-old is used regularly at centre-back, slotting in alongside Joe Gomez or Joel Matip.

After the win over Ajax, it was [pointed out](https://twitter.com/GrizzKhan/status/1319263531351629824?s=20) by various fans on Twitter that Liverpool are actually yet to concede a goal when Fabinho has started at centre-back.

He filled in for the suspended Van Dijk against Bayern Munich in 2018/19, in a 0-0 draw at Anfield, as well as shining in a 1-0 win over Brighton, this season’s clash 2-0 triumph at Chelsea and Wednesday’s game in Amsterdam.

These Liverpool supporters have been reacting to the stat on Twitter, lauding Fabinho in the process.
