Bruno Fernandes fires as Man United comeback wins 5-1

Manchester United got off to a rough start in the Premier League. In their opening game they were beaten by newly promoted Hull City, 2-0. But this Sunday they bounced back at Old Trafford with a big 5-1 win over Ipswich Town, with captain Bruno Fernandes stealing the show.

A turnaround led by him

According to Mundo Deportivo, Ipswich went ahead early through Davis in the 29th minute. Still, the home side recovered before half-time: Bruno levelled the score at 1-1 in the 40th minute after converting a counterattack sparked by an untimely slip from Marcelino Núñez.

The match then tilted decisively after the break. Greaves put the ball into his own net to make it 2-1 in the 56th minute, following a shot deflected by Maguire. Four minutes later—at 60'—Fernandes converted a penalty to put United 3-1 up, effectively putting the game on rails.

Three goals, one assist

As Mundo Deportivo adds, Bruno completed a memorable night with two more goals: 4-1 in the 68th minute, after reacting first to a loose ball in the box, and the final 5-1 in the 82nd minute, while also adding a key assist. Mbeumo made it 5-1 (82'), and Akpom scored late to set a final 5-2 in stoppage time (91').

The report also notes the game was played for matchday two at Old Trafford, before 74,000 fans, with referee Craig Pawson in charge and yellow cards for Lukic, Fatawu and Greaves.
