Bruno Fernandes scores incredible goal from centre circle to equalise against Liverpool

Bruno Fernandes produced an outrageous strike from inside the centre circle to equalise for Manchester United against Liverpool this afternoon.

The Red Devils were thoroughly outplayed in the first half at Old Trafford, with Luis Diaz putting the visitors ahead.

United didn't manage a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes but they levelled matters with their first just minutes into the second half.

Jarell Quansah gave the ball away in sloppy fashion and Fernandes punished him with an incredible lob past Caoimhin Kelleher to send United fans into raptures.

The goal is Fernandes' 50th in the Premier League since his move from Sporting CP.

And it will be right up there as one of the best he has scored. Alejandro Garnacho was left in utter disbelief over the worldie, which completely raised United's game.

Erik ten Hag's side found a completely different level, while Liverpool lost their way and stopped playing the kind of football which had them dominating proceedings.

There were shades of the exhilarating FA Cup tie a few weeks back and United wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo put the hosts in the lead with a beautiful curling effort into the far corner from inside the area.

Jurgen Klopp looked absolutely furious with his team and was seen remonstrating with the players after Mainoo found the net.

A response arrived and Liverpool drew level in the 82nd minute after Aaron Wan-Bissaka clumsily went to ground and fouled Harvey Elliott inside the box.

Mo Salah stepped up and made no mistake from 12 yards. The Egyptian has now scored 11 goals in the Premier League against United, beating the previous record of 10 from Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.
