Liverpool bowed out of the FA Cup after a 2-1 loss to an emphatic Brighton and Hove Albion side.
Fabinho was utilised as a second-half substitute, with 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic being utilised after several impressive performances.
The Brazilian is notorious for his reckless challenges on the pitch and proved exactly why today; he went into a tackle with his studs up, grazing Evan Ferguson’s calf in the process.
His reaction says it all, as the midfielder looked like he was expecting the referee to brandish a red card in his direction. Take a look below:
? “I can’t understand how the VAR referee can say that isn’t a red… it’s a terrible challenge! You can see from the player’s reaction – he knows it’s a red and he’s just waiting to be sent off.”
