They said he was unable to do it in defining moments.
Indeed, it has taken Bruno Fernandes only two minutes to shut those pundit’s mouths with an early goal in the Manchester derby.
Subsequent to going under analysis for his record against the main six, he tucked his penalty barely out of the span of Ederson to give United a fantasy start.
In doing as such, he exacted upon the Citizens an undesirable record at their ‘new’ home.
101 – After 101 seconds, Bruno Fernandes' penalty is the earliest goal that Man City have ever conceded in a league match at the Etihad Stadium, and the first they have conceded within two minutes at home since Steed Malbranque for Fulham at Maine Road in January 2003.

Goodness, and it likewise saw him keep on having a special place as the main individual player of United since his appearance in the group longer than a year prior.
Since making the competition debut, Bruno Fernandes has scored the most goals(24) and he even has the most assist than any other player in the Premier League this season. This goal gave United the dream start in this derby. Gabriel Jesus brought down Anthony Martial in the box and the referee pointed to the spot straight away. The Portuguese made no mistake as he fires his shot low and hard towards the bottom left corner.
Fernandes has been truly exceptional and his records were under question when it was outpoured by the media that he doesn’t perform much against the top six in the premier league. This goal is enough to make them quiet and this will also help the team ahead.
Eventually, you can’t continue to question him. And if you dare to, then he is ready to step up for the team always.
