Manchester United took a massive hit in their Premier League title challenge after Carlo Ancelotti's Everton managed to hold the Red Devils to an exciting 3-3 draw. The Toffees, in fact, drew the game through Dominic Calvert-Lewin in what was the final kick of the game. 

Ole Gunnar-Solskjaer's men started slow, but went into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes. Edinson Cavani opened the scoring through a fantastic header off Marcus Rashford's cross and then came the moment of magic. Receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty box, roughly 20 yards from goal, and lobbed in a fantastic curling ball into the back of the net. The ball went over Everton keeper Robin Olsen and Fernandes got his 13th goal of the season.

The Portuguese international has been at Manchester United for just over a year and has scored 21 league goals already. Bruno Fernandes stats have been unbelievable, to say the least. Since his debut in the league, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has scored more goals than the Manchester United midfielder.

While it wasn't the kind of result he and his Manchester United teammates were hoping for, the midfielder was rightly praised on the social, and especially by the former United striker Robin van Persie, who wrote, "Bruno Fernandes ladies & gentleman. What a joy to watch him play! Just wondering... how many goals for RvP with him in midfield."
