Let $f\in W^1_p(\mathbb R^n)$, $1\leqslant p < n$ and $p^* = \frac{np}{n-p}$ then the following inequality holds \begin{equation}\label{eq:1} \Bigl(\int\limits_{B}|f(x)-f_B|^{p^*}\,dx\Bigr)^{\frac{1}{p^*}} \leqslant C\Bigl(\int\limits_{B}|\nabla f(x)|^{p}\,dx\Bigr)^{\frac{1}{p}} \end{equation} for any balls $B \subset \mathbb R^n$, and constant $C$ depends only on $n$ and $p$.
