FERNANDES, SOLSKJAER REACT TO PLAYMAKER’S STAR SHOW: “HE WANTS THE BALL ALL THE TIME” Martin Rickett/PA via AP

By Nicholas Mendola

Feb 23, 2020,

1:16 PM EST

*

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

tried

to put words to the virtuoso performance of Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes

on Sunday.

Fernandes won and converted a penalty for his first United goal, then set up Anthony Martial

for a goal

and directly assisted Mason Greenwood

‘s marker

late in the 3-0 win over Watford

at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old barely put a foot wrong on the day, converting all three of his dribble attempts and winning all seven of his ground

duels.

“He has given everyone a boost,” Solskjaer said. “He wants the ball all the time, he wants to conduct the play. I am very pleased for him. He has done something to the crowd. He shows the attributes of a Manchester United player. He is a great addition to the squad.” The Portuguese had shown signs of his prowess in his first four appearances for United, but Sunday was a whole new sort of

contribution.

Fernandes was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch, with a gulf to

second.

> “This is the day every player wants to have. I feel lucky to > score, I feel lucky to win the game. We all gave our best and we all > deserved the win. I just need to help the team, it’s what I want > to do, it’s what I need to do. I hope Martial scores more goals > too like he did tonight.” If he puts up a few more days like this, especially with Scott

McTominay

returning to do more grunt work behind him, United’s going back to

the UCL.

EVERTON’S CALVERT-LEWIN OPENS SCORING WITH OVERHEAD KICK (VIDEO) Photo by Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images

By Nicholas Mendola

Feb 23, 2020,

11:53 AM EST

*

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

scored

a spectacular goal, and Arsenal’s chaotic defending gave him a big

assist.

The Everton man had the Toffees up 1-0 inside of the first minute when he hammered an overhead kick past Bernd Leno

.

Calvert-Lewin was first to react when David Luiz

could only pop a

swirling Gylfi Sigurdsson

free kick

high into the air.

The forward’s foot flew past Luiz’s mane — it withstood VAR review — after the Gunners looked confused by Sead Kolasinac

following

his mark into the 18. The goal is Calvert-Lewin’s 12th of the PL season. He’s scored four in his last five league outings, and 10 in his last 12. He has seven goals in nine matches under Carlo Ancelotti

WOLVES’ RED-HOT JOTA TOO MUCH FOR NORWICH CITY Photo by GEOFF CADDICK/AFP via Getty Images

By Nicholas Mendola

Feb 23, 2020,

11:19 AM EST

*

Diogo Jota

scored twice and helped produce the third goal of Wolves 3-0 battering of Norwich City at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday. Mexican star Raul Jimenez scored the other goal for Wolves. Wolves rise eighth with 39 points, five points off fourth and two back of fifth-place Manchester United. Norwich City remains seven points back of 17th place with a league-worst goal differential sinking to minus-27. ------------------------- THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

1. RED-HOT JOTA

: Wolves’

23-year-old attacker was coming off a hat trick versus Espanyol in Europa League play, and had two goals by the half-hour mark at the Molineux. That gives him five PL goals amongst his 14 in all competitions as Wolves threaten both the Europa League and, somehow, remain alive in the top four race. 2. ABJECT NORWICH DEFENDING: Daniel Farke

‘s men have

been praised for continuing their forward-thinking, attack-minded football in the Premier League, but maybe they simply didn’t have the protectors to bunker down in front of Tim Krul

. That’s a bit

unfair, because it’s admirable that Farke wishes to entertain, but there’s no debating the mess that is the Canaries defense this year. 3. JIMENEZ IS MEXICO’S BEST: Club Leon’s coach made headlines this week when he called LAFC’s Carlos Vela the best Mexican player, and perhaps he’s No. 2, but there’s no North American in the world doing what Raul is doing in Europe. Jimenez went over 3,300 season minutes on Sunday, adding another goal to give him 22 with 10 assists. Only Rui Patricio, Conor Coady

, and Joao

Moutinho have

played more than the El Tri star. MAN OF THE MATCH: Jota ------------------------- Norwich City had two promising moments in the first seven minutes, as

Max Aarons hit a

terrific through ball that died with a Teemu Pukki

extra touch.

Then Pukki forced Rui Patricio into a save.

Kenny McLean

cranked a shot to Patricio off a Puuki pass in the 11th minute. A Norwich giveaway allowed Diogo Jota to dance into the 18, but he instead dribbled himself out of room and was tackled. Jota made amends in the 19th minute, lashing home after a terrific

team goal.

It might’ve been 2-0 had Alex Tettey

not darted

between Jota’s 23rd-minute pass to Raul Jimenez. Jota got his second in the 30th off a corner kick, as Romain Saiss

slashed a pass

across the six that any of three Wolves would’ve put in for a

two-goal lead.

Tim Krul made a great save on a Ruben Neves free kick after Jota was injured drawing the set piece atop the 18. Jota smashed the post moments before Jimenez deposited Wolves’ third goal of the game, a 3-0 lead arriving in the 50th minute.

FERNANDES RUNS THE SHOW AS MANCHESTER UNITED CRUSHES WATFORD Photo by Ash Donelon/Manchester United via Getty Images

By Nicholas Mendola

Feb 23, 2020,

11:01 AM EST

*

Bruno Fernandes

scored a

goal and helped set up two as Manchester United beat Watford 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Anthony Martial

recorded

United’s second goal with a magical finish off his own rebound after Fernandes sent him through on goal, while Mason Greenwood

added a

late goal after a 1-2 with the Portuguese. United is now fifth with 41 points, three points back of fourth-place

Chelsea.

Watford had a goal chalked off by VAR, and remains in the bottom three with 24 points. That’s one point off 17th and two off 16th. ------------------------- THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

1. BRUNO AS

ADVERTISED: There was no question Fernandes addressed a need for the Old Trafford set, but few would’ve seen the Portuguese revolutionizing the team’s attack so quickly (and also underlining how badly United has missed Marcus Rashford

and Paul

Pogba ). It’s

not silly to say Fernandes could’ve had four assists on the day. Magnificent stuff from the 25-year-old. No surprise he has Cristiano Ronaldo’s endorsement. 2. GREENWOOD SHOWS ANOTHER GLIMPSE: The Mason Greenwood hype train hasn’t been as pronounced as Marcus Rashford’s of years past, and we’re grateful for that. But his shoulder move and sick cut before dribbling 50 yards to combine with Fernandes on the third goal of the game was gorgeous stuff. More hope for the future. 3. THIS: It’s easy to forget the heights of which somewhat-mercurial Anthony Martial is capable. MAN OF THE MATCH: Fernandes had four key passes and was perfect in his take-ons and ground duels. Incredible show. ------------------------- Poor communication between Harry Maguire

and Nemanja

Matic sprung

Troy Deeney

toward goal, but United left back Luke Shaw

saved his

teammates further blushes with a block. Abdoulaye Doucoure then ran onto a dummied Gerard Deulofeu

pass but

found himself closed down by David De Gea

.

United should’ve been up through Wan-Bissaka when Foster parried a cross onto his path, but the English back struck the ball tamely into the outside of the goal. Bruno Fernandes led a terrific 38th-minute move, and Daniel James

eventually

teed up Fred for a

shot that curled wide of the goal. The January signing danced past Ben Foster

and hit the deck

when the Watford goalkeeper went to ground. VAR stayed with the call on the field, and Fernandes finished well with a little hop step. Deeney looked to have made it 1-1 in the 52nd minute, thumping a. ball into the top of the goal when a corner kick was turned off the post by

Craig Dawson

‘s arm. It was

attached to his body, but that does not matter in the attacking box. Martial instead made it 2-0 off a Fernandes feed, collecting his own rebound before dribbling Watford dizzy and spinning a chip into the

goal.

Fernandes spotted Maguire with a seeing-eye cross in the 69th, but the defender’s header was poor. Greenwood scored his goal in the 75th, carrying the ball 50 yards before working a 1-2 with Fernandes and finishing with aplomb.

Odion Ighalo

came close to getting on the board for his new club against his old one, but Adam Masina

deflected his

shot off the post.
