Attacking-midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed that he reminded his Manchester United teammates of just how much progress they have made this season ahead of their 2-1 derby day victory over Manchester City at Old Trafford.
After falling behind to Jack Grealish's headed opener on the hour mark, United turned the game on its head inside the last quarter of an hour, courtesy of goals from Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. The former brought the Reds level in controversial fashion after it appeared as though Rashford had interfered with play from an offside position, only for referee Stuart Attwell to allow Fernandes' effort to stand.
Rashford, who has now scored 16 times this season, then completed the comeback, turning home Alejandro Garnacho's low cross to seal a ninth successive win for the Reds and lift them up to third in the Premier League table, just a point behind City. United had struggled to get into much of a rhythm during the second half and did not look like scoring until Fernandes' leveller.
