Bruno Fernandes’s skyward miss against Fulham marked his fifth penalty failure in the Premier League for Manchester United — the most of any player since his arrival in February 2020.
The Portuguese midfielder slipped in his buildup at Craven Cottage after accidentally stepping on referee Chris Kavanagh, before blasting his effort over Bernd Leno’s goal.
Since joining United, Fernandes has taken 27 penalties in the league, scoring 22 and missing five — an 81.5% success rate. Among Premier League players with at least 10 penalties in the past six years, he ranks 14th out of 18.
He now shares the unwanted record of five misses with Mohamed Salah, Aleksandar Mitrović, and James Ward-Prowse.
