Fernandes shatters Premier League assist record

Fernandes

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has set a new Premier League record after registering his 21st assist of the 2025-26 season on the final day against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Portugal international delivered a precise corner that was headed home by Patrick Dorgu in the 33rd minute to seal the historic milestone.

Fernandes had already equalled the long-standing record of 20 assists in a single campaign, previously shared by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.

However, his final assist moved him clear of both, establishing a new benchmark for creativity in a Premier League season.

Fernandes has enjoyed a remarkable year, also being named Premier League Player of the Season and winning the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award.
