Bruno Fernandes opened and closed the scoring in Manchester United’s conclusive 4-1 victory at bottom club Wolverhampton, allowing them to jump six places up to sixth place in the Premier League.

It was in the 25th minute that the Portuguese midfielder opened the game in the closing challenge of the 15th round, even though he slipped, shooting on the ground for the goal that put Rúben Amorim’s team in front, ending up scoring twice in the 82nd minute, scoring a penalty.

Wolverthampton, which had Toti as a starter, goalkeeper José Sá as a substitute and Rodrigo Gomes injured, still equalized, at 45’+2′, by Haitian Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

The “Red Devils” were more consistent in the second half and Diogo Dalot set up Cameroonian Bryan Mbeumo for the second, in the 51st minute. Bruno Fernandes was not far behind and, in the 63rd minute, crossed for Mason Mount to score the third, which practically sentenced the match.

With this result, Manchester United rose to sixth place, with the same 25 points as Chelsea, fifth, and one behind Cristal Palace, fourth, a place worth qualifying for the Champions League.

Despite having lost in this round, 2-1 to Aston Villa, Arsenal continues to lead, with 33 points, two more than Manchester City, with 31, on a podium closed by the surprising Aston Villa, with 30.

Wolverhampton continues its nightmare performance, with just two points in 15 rounds.
