Rebeca Tavares notices what Fabinho did during celebrations after Ibrahima Konate goal for Liverpool

Rebeca Tavares noticed what Fabinho did during the goal celebrations after Ibrahima Konate put Liverpool ahead in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Benfica.

The Reds took the lead just 17 minutes into the tie at the Estadio da Luz courtesy of a header from the French defender. It was Konate's first goal for the club following his arrival last summer.

Amid the celebrations, Konate slid to the floor and was closely followed by midfielder Fabinho. The Brazilian's effort was far less smooth than his teammates, however.

Fabinho's knee held up in the grass and he tumbled over, much to the amusement of his wife.

Tavares shared in a tweet: "What happened with fab celebration" followed by a series of laughing emojis.

The 28-year-old has himself scored seven goals in all competitions for Liverpool so far this season. He's scored on five occasions in the league and twice in the FA Cup.

He stepped up and scored a crucial penalty in their 2-0 win over Watford on Saturday afternoon after forward Diogo Jota was bundled over in the box.
