Manchester United registered a 4-1 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road.
Bruno Fernandes set the tone with the opener, only for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to drag Wolves level right on the cusp of half-time.
United came out firing after the break, with Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount striking to put the visitors 3-1 ahead by the hour mark.
Fernandes later buried a coolly taken penalty to seal his brace and wrap up a dominant three points for Ruben Amorim’s side.
The performance even caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison, who could not hide his admiration for the United skipper.
He said on Sky Sports: “Bruno Fernandes is underrated for the consistency he shows regularly.
“Every time he is on the ball, he can just see it all.”
Fernandes put on a sensational show against Wolves.
He finished the night with two goals and one assist, earning a well-deserved 9/10 in our post-match ratings.
The Portuguese maestro dictated the tempo from midfield, threading incisive passes and unlocking Wolves’ defence almost at will.
He created four big chances and completed 83% of his passes, further underlining his influence.
He also completed seven recoveries and made one tackle.
Fernandes has shown yet again why he is a world-class player.
Critics continually doubt him and blame him for his lack of defensive work.
Those tactical decisions fall on the head coach, not the player.
Fernandes knows that unfair scrutiny comes with the territory when you are the heartbeat of one of the biggest clubs in world football.
