The football stats gurus highlighted the impressive numbers after Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, which United clinched in injury-time courtesy of Fernandes’s breakaway goal.
The Portuguese ran a good 70 yards before throwing a dummy and lashing the ball past Seagulls’ keeper Robert Sanchez, but he was set on his way by Pogba’s quick thinking, after a free-kick had been awarded for Alexis Mac Allister’s handball.
