Bruno Fernandes put in a man-of-the-match performance for Manchester United against Everton this lunchtime at a time when the side – and his manager – needed him the most.
In winning the match, Fernandes scored two goals and provided an assist for Edinson Cavani. He also registered some incredible statistics.
The 26-year-old made 22 final third passes, had six shots (three on target), made four ball recoveries and made three tackles.

There have been those – notably José Mourinho – who have labelled Fernandes a penalty merchant but statistics show that no Premier League midfielder has scored more non-penalty goals than the Portuguese international since he joined United in January.
