Bruno Fernandes has hailed Christian Eriksen after Man United came from a goal down to beat bottom side Southampton at Old Trafford.
It was of course Amad Diallo who claimed the headlines after his 12-minute hat-trick earned a 3-1 win for the Red Devils on Thursday (17 January).
However, Eriksen would also play a part in that comeback, with his excellent ball over the top of the Southampton defence setting up Amad to volley the all-important second goal that put his side ahead.
Now Fernandes has paid tribute to the Dane for the part he played in helping Man United to claim all three points against the Saints.
