(Video) Diogo Dalot’s stunning ball over the top for Bruno Fernandes blunder vs Boro

Diogo Dalot put the ball on a plate for Bruno Fernandes, who rushed his shot like a player thinking he had strayed into an offside position.

Bruno Fernandes was found alone inside the box with a through ball from a fellow Portugal international, but he volleyed his effort a mile over the bar.

The Portuguese midfielder has not been at his best this season and you would’ve fancied him to score from his opportunity.

Replays showed that Fernandes was onside and the linesman rightly kept his flag down following the attack. The player was visibly angry knowing that.

Dalot has been excellent at right-back and he offers us a lot more going forward than Aaron Wan-Bissaka. You can see what he brings to the team with this passage of play, footage courtesy of Emirates FA Cup:

It was one of many chances United couldn’t score from last night, as Bruno Fernandes missed another opportunity when the goalkeeper was caught off his line.

Had Fernandes scored we would be talking about the next round of the FA Cup.
