Liverpool's unsung hero Fabinho has revealed the gamble he took knowing his team-mates would ‘kill’ him if he failed.
The quiet midfielder was the unlikely star of a penalty shoot out at Wembley, in the EFL Cup final against Chelsea, where his coolly-taken ‘Panenka’ shocked his own fans, and stunned the opposition.
It came off in style with keeper Kepa, supposedly a penalty expert, totally nonplussed. And Fabinho couldn’t suppress a laugh, as he said: “The day before the final, I tried to do a Panenka (in training). It was just me and Luis Diaz, with no goalkeeper in the goal.
