Liverpool Fans Compare New Boy Fabinho to Club Legend After Reds' Impressive Win Over Torino

The Premier League season hasn't even started yet, and Liverpool's summer signing Fabinho has already made an excellent impression on the Anfield faithful - despite missing a penalty in the Reds' 3-1 home win over Torino on Tuesday.

The Brazilian scored all 15 of his Ligue 1 penalties for former club AS Monaco - only to shoot wide from the spot for his new club against the Serie A side.

Apart from this aberration, Fabinho left Liverpool fans delighted with his display. In fact, before he was moved from midfield to central defence in the second half, the Brazilian drew comparisons with Steven Gerrard, one of the Reds' greatest ever midfielders.
