Fernandes Ties Premier League Single-Season Assist Record

Bruno Fernandes matched the Premier League’s single-season assists record with his 20th helper of the campaign in Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest, leaving one game left at Brighton to attempt the outright mark. He leads the league with 132 chances created this season, 58 more than the next-best, and has 670 chances created since January 2020. His 71 Premier League assists for United (seven seasons) sit level with Son Heung-min for a record by a player for a single club, and he would need 14 more chances against Brighton to equal Mesut Ozil’s 146-for-season total. The all-time PL assist record stands at 162 by Ryan Giggs. Pundits and former players praised the feat, with Carrick and Neville highlighting Fernandes’s creativity and leadership as United’s top creator this season.
