Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick as the Red Devils defeated Real Sociedad 4-1 (5-2 agg) to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals.
Mikel Oyarzabal won a penalty for the visitors after just 10 minutes, and converted it, setting a worrying tone for United.
However, the hosts responded swiftly, with Bruno Fernandes levelling the game with a spot-kick of his own just five minutes later.
The momentum swung in United’s favour after the break, as Fernandes repeated the trick to give the Reds the lead in both the game and the tie. But he wasn’t satisfied with just that. In the final few minutes, Fernandes sealed his hat-trick, capping off an exhilarating performance.
To add the cherry on top, Diogo Dalot scored in stoppage-time, making it a night to remember in Manchester.
