Fernandes hat-trick inspires Man Utd rout of Ipswich
Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick to lead Manchester United to a 5-2 victory over Ipswich in the Premier League. The win marks a significant recovery for the team following their previous loss to Hull.
Why it matters
Manchester United's performance is a major focus for global football fans, and this result impacts the early-season Premier League standings.
Bruno Fernandes's hat-trick inspired a Manchester United fightback from a goal down to thrash Ipswich 5-2 and get their Premier League season up and running on Sunday.
After a nightmare 2-0 defeat to Hull last weekend, another newly-promoted side had the Red Devils on the ropes when Leif Davis opened the scoring for the Tractor Boys.
But Fernandes blasted home to level before half-time and then converted from the penalty spot after a Jacob Greaves own goal put United in front.
The United captain completed his hat-trick from close range before adding an assist to his fine afternoon for Bryan Mbeumo. "It's not to make up for last week, you can't get six points from it. But second half we were very good," said Fernandes. "Scoring goals is the best feeling in football."
