Bruno Fernandes has claimed a record-breaking 21st assist in a Premier League season.
The Manchester United playmaker set up Patrick Dorgu’s opener against Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the 2025-26 season.
Fernandes’ corner was powerfully headed home by Dorgu in the 33rd minute.
He had already tied the record of 20 assists, shared by Arsenal‘s Thierry Henry and Manchester City‘s Kevin De Bruyne. But a 21st assist means Fernandes has now achieved more than any other player in a single Premier League campaign.

On the final day of the Premier League season, Bryan Mbeumo scored United’s second at Brighton before Fernandes added a third.
