Bruno Fernandes breaks David Beckham's record by becoming the first player to supply an assist in six successive Champions League matches in 24 years following pass for Anthony Elanga's equaliser

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes became the first player in Champions League history to register an assist in six consecutive appearances for an English club on Wednesday night.

Fernandes, 27, was on hand with a vital assist in United's 1-1 draw away at Atletico Madrid, teeing up Anthony Elanga to cancel out Joao Felix's opener with 10 minutes of their last-16 first leg remaining.

The Portugal midfielder threaded an inch-perfect through ball into the path of Elanga, who cooly converted past Jan Oblak to snatch a draw for Ralf Rangnick's men.
