Manchester United rebound with Fernandes hat-trick in Premier League win over Ipswich
Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick as Manchester United overcame Ipswich Town 5-2 in the Premier League on Sunday, rebounding from their opening-day defeat. The Portuguese midfielder leveled the match before halftime, converted a penalty after Jacob Greaves’ own goal, and completed his treble from close range before assisting Bryan Mbeumo.
Ipswich, newly promoted, took the lead at Old Trafford through Leif Davis in the 29th minute after Abdul Fatawu outpaced Luke Shaw. United goalkeeper Senne Lammens denied Davis a second shortly after, but a defensive error by Ipswich’s Marcelino Núñez allowed Matheus Cunha to set up Fernandes’ equalizer. Greaves’ own goal in the 56th minute put United ahead, and Fernandes’ penalty extended the lead. Marcus Rashford made his first United start in nearly two years, while Kobbie Mainoo also returned to the lineup.
Meanwhile, Chelsea extended their perfect start under new manager Xabi Alonso with a 4-3 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Romeo Lavia and Pedro Neto were among the scorers in a seven-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge.
In La Liga, Real Madrid maintained their unbeaten start with a 4-0 rout of Málaga, with Arda Güler scoring a late goal off the bench. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé also found the net for José Mourinho’s side.
Elsewhere, Feyenoord dropped points for the second time this season in the Eredivisie, drawing 2-2 with ADO Den Haag after trailing 2-0. AZ Alkmaar remained top with a 5-2 win over Go Ahead Eagles, while Ajax defeated Telstar 4-0. In the Bundesliga, Freiburg’s Yuito Suzuki scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen, and Schalke lost 3-0 to Augsburg.
