- The highlight of the match came from Fabinho, who struck a shocking 30-yard firecracker into the back of the net to seal the victory for Liverpool.

On Wednesday, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 4-0 to move one step closer to securing their first league title since 1990.
After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first half, the show-stopping highlight of the match came in the 55th minute, when Fabinho knocked in a blistering shot from well outside the box.
Fabinho's attempt came with the confidence few players can muster — if you're going to go for goal from this far out, you've got to believe.
Clearly, Fabinho did.
"What a strike! Oh that's extraordinary from Fabinho!" said play-by-play commentator Arlo White. "Right-footed, it went like an arrow."
On Twitter, fans shared their awe of Fabinho's goal.
While Liverpool had already been leading thanks to earlier goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, Fabinho's strike served as an exclamation point for the club as they inch even closer to securing the Premier League title.
With the win, Liverpool moved an astounding 23 points clear of Manchester City — their closest competitor on the league table. Should City lose or draw against Chelsea on Thursday, Liverpool will lift the trophy.
If City can beat Chelsea, their next match is July 3 against Liverpool, with the Reds only needing a draw to take home their first league title since 1990.
