Bruno Fernandes shook off last week’s disappointment against Fulham, where he missed a potential game-winning penalty, by stepping up in style today to hand Manchester United their first Premier League victory of the season. The Portuguese midfielder converted from the spot with trademark composure, ensuring the Red Devils finally got off the mark in the new campaign.

The goal carried an extra layer of redemption for Fernandes, who had faced criticism after his costly miss in the previous round. This time, under pressure, he made no mistake—burying the penalty and sparking relief around Old Trafford.

On the sidelines, manager Rúben Amorim, who had been visibly tense throughout the encounter, finally allowed himself a smile after Fernandes’ strike secured the breakthrough. The dramatic moment not only eased the pressure on the team but also restored confidence in their captain’s leadership.
