Manchester United breaks the winless streak: Fernandes' winning penalty.

Manchester United's victory thanks to Fernandes' penalty

According to The Sun: Bruno Fernandes showcased his composure by scoring a penalty in added time, bringing Manchester United its first win of the season.

The team captain had previously missed a penalty in a match against Fulham, and a week ago, the team suffered a defeat in the Carabao Cup, losing in a penalty shootout.

When United received a controversial penalty, Fernandes found the strength to outsmart Martin Dubravka.

The most relieved person in the stadium was undoubtedly coach Ruben Amorim, who received a positive response from the team after the setback against Grimsby. However, his players were twice trailing against league newcomers – Clers.

But the drama on the pitch was not over: Clers equalized again when Jadon Anthony scored after a deflection.

After a serious struggle, the match came to its climax when United received a penalty after Anthony pulled down Amad Diallo.

“Fernandes kept his cool, and although Dubravka went the right way, his shot was strong enough.”
