Another game, another goal and two more assists. It will take much more than sorry Bournemouth to halt Bruno Fernandes' remarkable impact on the Premier League.
Yet it was in United's previous game, at the Amex Stadium, where a snapshot helped explain his growing stature around Manchester United.
It was only once the game was won beyond reasonable doubt that Fernandes was afforded a rest, and he took a seat a few rows back from the touchline. He had led Brighton a merry dance, scoring twice.
The television cameras panned to Fernandes, sat in the main stand, as he clapped and cajoled his team-mates, rendered open-mouthed by a stupendous David de Gea save.
