🤩 Bruno Fernandes hits 100th for Man United against 10-man Chelsea | OneFootball

Look away, Chelsea fans.

Saturday's headline Premier League fixture at Old Trafford has already hit fever pitch in the opening fifteen minutes.

Ruben Amorim's Red Devils were gifted a vital advantage at the Theatre of Dreams just five minutes after kick-off when Chelsea shot-stopper Robert Sánchez was given his marching orders after bringing down summer signing Bryan Mbeumo.

United would go on to make them pay ten minutes later when captain Bruno Fernandes tapped home from inside the area to bag his 100th goal in all competitions for the English giants, becoming the 19th player to achieve the feat.

An unwavering presence in the heart of the Red Devils creative and goalscoring departments, it was the perfect time for the former Sporting CP man to bolster Amorim's chances of avoiding further angst in what has become a tumultuous position on the touchline in the Northwest of the country.

To add to the Blues' woes, Cole Palmer was forced off with an injury as the rain poured both figuratively and literally on Enzo Maresca's men at Old Trafford.
