Some Liverpool fans on Twitter are singing the praises of Fabinho after his interaction with an Aston Villa youngster last night.

The Reds cruised into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-1 win away to a very young and inexperienced Aston Villa side.

The real story of the game was 17-year-old Villa prospect Louie Barry, who cancelled out Sadio Mane’s equaliser before the break to peg Liverpool back at the half-way point.

The hosts were unable to field their normal XI due to an outbreak at the club’s training ground, meaning that it was a pretty strong Liverpool side against a selection of teenagers.

Straight after the game, Barry swapped shirts with Fabinho, one of the most important players in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

But television camera spotted the youngster chasing the Liverpool stalwart down the tunnel seconds later in an effort to get his top back, which the big Brazilian was only happy to oblige.

It was one of the most wholesome moments of the night, despite Aston Villa losing by a good margin in the end.

And here’s how fans of the Premier League champions reacted to it on Twitter:
