The Portuguese set a new landmark after putting the Red Devils 1-0 up against their arch-rivals at Old Trafford

Man Utd talisman Bruno Fernandes has surpassed Frank Lampard in Premier League history books by scoring against Liverpool on Thursday night.

United took the lead against their arch-rivals at Old Trafford with just 10 minutes on the clock, with Fernandes' strike flying past Alisson in the Liverpool net with the aid of a fortunate deflection off the outstretched leg of Nat Phillips.

The Portuguese now has 28 goals to his name from 56 appearances across all competitions in 2020-21, which has seen him set a new record in English football.
