Fabinho has house burgled during Liverpool's Premier League trophy presentation

Liverpool star Fabinho was targeted by burglars as he lifted the Premier League trophy on Wednesday night.

The Reds finally got their hands on the trophy after their 5-3 win over Chelsea at Anfield.

Players' families had special permission to attend and watch the presentation from executive boxes at the stadium.

But the Brazilian midfielder saw his empty house targeted by criminals, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Detectives have launched an appeal for witnesses after a number of jewellery items were stolen from the Formby home he shares with wife Rebeca Tavares.

A grey Audi RS6 was also stolen and later recovered in Wigan.

The break-in happened some time between 3pm on Wednesday and 4am on Thursday morning and was discovered when the occupants returned home.

A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "Detectives in Sefton are appealing for information following a burglary in Formby.

"Police were called to an address in the early hours of this morning (Thursday, 23 July), when the occupants entered their house to find it had been burgled.

"No-one was in the property at the time of the incident but it was thought the burglary happened sometime between 3pm on Wednesday, 22 July and 4am on Thursday, 23 July.

"A number of jewellery items were stolen, alongside a grey Audi RS6, which has since been recovered in the Wigan area.

"The house and car have been forensically examined by Crime Scene Investigators and CCTV enquiries in the area are on-going.

Several Liverpool players have seen their homes targeted during games in recent years.

Sadio Mane saw several items stolen as he played a Champions League game against Bayern Munich last year with team-mates Roberto Firmino and Dejan Lovren also amongst past victims of similar acts.
