Bruno Fernandes's penalty prowess reached new heights as he became Manchester United's top spot-kick scorer, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy.

In a thrilling match against Everton, Bruno Fernandes made history by becoming Manchester United's all-time top penalty scorer. His spot kick against the Toffees solidified his position as a prolific penalty taker for the Red Devils.

Fernandes's Clinical Finish

Manchester United beat Everton thanks to two penalties won by Alejandro Garnacho. The spot-kicks were, however, shared between Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, with the Portuguese stepping up for the historic first.

Fernandes displayed his composure and finesse as he converted a crucial penalty. His precise shot into the bottom-right corner left Jordan Pickford rooted to the spot, setting a new record for Manchester United.

Surpassing Legends

By surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy's 28 penalty goals, Fernandes etched his name into Man United's history books. Since his arrival in 2020, he has proven to be a master from the spot, outscoring every other player in the Premier League with 17 successful penalties.
