Bruno Fernandes delivered a masterful performance, scoring twice and providing an assist, as Manchester United convincingly defeated Wolves 4-1 at Molineux on Monday night. The victory propelled Manchester United to sixth place in the Premier League standings.
Manchester United's dominance was evident early in the game, although they initially struggled to convert their possession into goals. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the first half after some poor defending from Wolves. Despite slipping, Fernandes managed to tuck the ball away, giving United a 1-0 lead. Wolves, however, responded just before halftime, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde leveling the score.
United upped the ante after the break, quickly restoring their lead. Bryan Mbeumo tapped into an empty net after a good play from Diogo Dalot. Mason Mount then scored a classy goal from a lovely Fernandes pass, extending United's lead. Fernandes capped off his excellent performance with a penalty, awarded after a VAR review for a handball.
Fernandes's performance was a return to his best, guiding Manchester United past a sorry Wolves side. He proved to be the driving force of the attack, scoring two goals and providing an assist. Mason Mount also impressed, scoring a goal and contributing to United's attacking threat. Diogo Dalot had a good game as well.
Wolves, on the other hand, continued their poor run of form, slumping to their eighth consecutive defeat. They have struggled to score goals and are currently at the bottom of the Premier League table. The team is lacking confidence, and manager Rob Edwards faces a tough challenge to turn their season around.
The match wasn't without controversy, as Manchester United were awarded a second-half penalty after a VAR review. Replays showed that Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera slightly moved his arm towards the ball, leading to the penalty decision. Bruno Fernandes confidently converted the penalty, sealing the victory for United.
Manchester United's win moves them level on points with Chelsea. They will be hoping to continue their winning form in their next match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Wolves face a difficult task as they travel to face Arsenal.
