End of boredom! Bruno Fernandes woke up Manchester United fans this Saturday afternoon. In a meeting scheduled for nap time and which had everything to make the supporters present at Craven Cottage doze off, the number 8 of Manchester United gave victory to his team in added time with a very nice sequence at the entrance of the penalty area.
While the two teams held together since the kick-off (0-0) without multiplying dangerous actions, the Portuguese midfielder showed his talent in the 91st minute. On a missed clearance in the axis by João Palhinha, Bruno Fernandes recovered the ball at 20 m before serving Scott McTominay, the ball then returned to him at the entrance to the truth zone.
After a controlled chest control, the Red Devils number 8 armed a volley from the left, before finally feinting, and putting two Fulham defenders in the wind. “Bruno” then opened his right foot to place the ball in the small right net of Bernd Leno. The German goalkeeper touches the ball but not enough to deflect it off target.
A magnificent goal but above all very important for United. Erik Ten Hag’s men were coming off two consecutive defeats at home with a score of 3-0 against Newcastle this week in the Cup, and against rival City last weekend. A decisive bit of confidence regained before facing Copenhagen this Wednesday at 9 p.m. for the fourth day of the Champions League. Manchester United are currently 3rd, one point behind Galatasaray.
