Get Guardian on GoogleManchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes, on Saturday, made history after providing an assist in his side’s Premier League 1-0 win against Chelsea. Manchester United defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge thanks to Matheus Cunha’s only goal of the encounter.
Fernandes provided the assist for Cunha’s first half goal goal against the Blues as the Red Devils claimed all three points.
According to OptaJoe, Fernandes’ assist means the Portuguese is just the fourth player to reach 10 assists in Premier League away games in a season after Muzzy Izzet in 2003-04 (10), Cesc Fabregas in 2014-15 (11) and Mohamed Salah in 2024-25 (11).
Fernandes has been impressive for Man United since moving to Old Trafford from Sporting CP in 2020. The 31-year-old attacking midfielder will now hope to lead Michael Carrick’s side to victory when they face Brentford on Monday.
