Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes breaks the Premier League record for the most assists in a single season as his team beats Brighton on the final day. Multiple outlets report that Fernandes reaches a new outright total of 21 assists after providing the corner that leads to Patrick Dorgu’s opener. The goal comes in the 33rd minute at the Amex Stadium, with Dorgu heading in from Fernandes’s cross as the match is still goalless at that point.
With Brighton trailing, Fernandes’s side adds further goals, and Fernandes also contributes directly, making it 3-0 in the 48th minute with his ninth league goal of the season. The new record is described as surpassing marks he previously shared with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, who had each recorded 20 assists in a Premier League campaign.
The achievement is also framed as part of a standout season for Fernandes, with one source noting he is named Premier League Player of the Season shortly before. The record-setting performance comes alongside United’s push for top-four qualification.
