In the 33rd minute at Amex Stadium, Patrick Dorgu jumped high to head dangerously after Bruno Fernandes' corner kick, giving the Brighton goalkeeper no chance to save. Immediately after the goal, the camera immediately turned to Bruno Fernandes - who had just created a historic milestone in MU's colors.
The assist for Dorgu is the 21st "serving" of the Portuguese midfielder in all competitions this season. That achievement helped Bruno surpass the old record of Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, who had 20 assists in a season in the Premier League.
However, the MU captain has not yet been able to surpass Thomas Muller's milestone. The German star once made his mark with 21 assists for Bayern Munich in the 2019-2020 season. Bruno needs another assist to exclusively occupy the record.
In the first half, the "Red Devils" continued to create an overwhelming game with fast-paced combinations in front of the opponent's penalty area. The result came with Bryan Mbeumo's double the score after a neat arrangement.
Stepping into the second half, Manchester United continued to maintain the overwhelming game. In the 48th minute, Bruno Fernandes put his name on the scoreboard, increasing the gap to 3-0 for the "Red Devils". From a neat combination in the penalty area, Patrick Dorgu launched a pass just right for the MU captain to rush down and finish coldly into the low left corner of the goal, completely defeating the Brighton goalkeeper.
The 3-0 victory right at Amex Stadium closed Manchester United's impressive performance. Bruno Fernandes became the most outstanding star of the match when he contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, making a great contribution to helping the away team win all 3 points.
