VIDEO: Bruno Fernandes scores insane goal for Man Utd from centre-circle as shocking error from Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah gifts hosts an equaliser against run of play

The Red Devils needed inspiration from somewhere at Old Trafford, having found themselves trailing 1-0 at half-time against arch-rivals. They restored parity within five minutes of the restart, with talismanic captain Fernandes registering a quite remarkable strike.

There appeared to be little threat to the Liverpool goal as Jarell Quansah turned in possession on the halfway line. The Reds youngster was, however, to be left with head in hands as he teed up Fernandes for the most ambitious of efforts.

Despite being so far out, the Portugal international made up his mind quickly that he would be going for goal when a wayward pass was rolled in his direction. The position of Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher helped him to make that decision, with the Irishman stranded a long way out of position.

Fernandes made perfect contact with his strike, as he looped the ball over Kelleher, allowing scenes of wild celebration to be sparked. Said effort was the Portugal international’s 50th in Premier League competition for United.
