Rangefinder! Bruno's six distance strikes

According to Opta, that tally has only been bettered by one player in England's top division since Fernandes signed for the Reds in the January 2020 transfer window - Southampton's free-kick specialist James Ward-Prowse, with seven.

The goal that brought up Bruno's half-dozen also came from a set-piece situation, but the ball had just re-entered open play when he unleashed an effort that Villa's usually excellent keeper Emilio Martinez really ought to have saved.

As you can see in our video above, one or two other shot-stoppers may feel they could have done better but Bruno's brilliance was certainly the major factor when finding the net from distance against Everton and Newcastle United.
