Fernandes hat trick inspires United’s comeback win

AP: Trailing — again — to a promoted team, Manchester United were facing further embarrassment early in this season’s English Premier League. Then Bruno Fernandes intervened. With a clinically taken hat trick, the Portugal playmaker inspired United’s comeback in a 5-2 win over Ipswich at Old Trafford yesterday. It was a relieving win for United, which opened its league campaign last weekend with a stunning 2-0 loss at Hull — a team that was promoted via the Championship playoffs and was widely tipped to be the favourites for relegation.
