Fernandes Matches EPL Assist Record in United Win
In a decisive match, Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United equaled the Premier League assist record by providing his 20th assist of the season, a feat previously achieved by Thierry Henry in the 2002-03 season and matched by Kevin De Bruyne in the 2019-20 season. The game, held at United's final home match of the season, saw Fernandes assist Bryan Mbeumo for the third goal, doubling United's lead.
Matheus Cunha had restored United's lead after Morgan Gibbs-White's goal had equalized for Nottingham Forest, following Luke Shaw's initial strike that put United ahead. The match concluded with a 3-1 victory for Manchester United, allowing them to secure third place in the league for the first time in three seasons.
This match also marked Fernandes' last of the season, as he prepares to break the assist record.
