Man Utd Fans Amused by Bruno Fernandes’ Infamously Awkward Goal Against Wolves in Football History
In an unexpected turn of events, Manchester United faced Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux and managed to score what many are calling one of the “ugliest goals ever seen.” This bizarre yet significant moment unfolded in the 25th minute, as United looked to climb the Premier League standings.
Bruno Fernandes’ Awkward Goal
The team captain, Bruno Fernandes, found the back of the net in a peculiar manner. After intercepting a pass during a defensive lapse from Wolves, Fernandes slipped twice before regaining his balance. He managed to sidestep Wolves defender Emmanuel Agbadou and slid the ball into the bottom-right corner of the net. Despite Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone getting a hand on the shot, the attempt was ultimately successful.
Fans React
- Many fans took to social media to share their amusement, labeling the goal as “contender for one of the ugliest.”
- One comment humorously described it as “fitting of both teams.”
- Another supporter suggested it was “Puskas Award worthy from Bruno Fernandes.”
While Fernandes celebrated this unusual goal, the Wolves squad looked on in disbelief as their season continued to falter.
Second Half Action and Final Outcome
Just before half-time, Wolves managed to equalize through Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who scored with a well-placed shot that also saw Johnstone fail to clear from the line. However, Manchester United quickly regained the lead when Bryan Mbeumo scored to make it 2-1 after a swift counter-attack.
Mason Mount later added a third goal for United with a tidy volley, followed by a penalty from Fernandes, boosting the final score to 4-1 in favor of the Red Devils.
This match solidified Manchester United’s aim to secure a higher position in the Premier League, despite the controversy surrounding Fernandes’ memorable, albeit awkward, goal against Wolves.
