What Bruno Fernandes said about Casemiro's goal celebration in Bournemouth vs Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes has lauded Casemiro’s brilliant first-half winner and the subsequent celebration that helped Manchester United brush aside Bournemouth on Saturday.

An improvised scissor kick on nine minutes was enough to earn Erik ten Hag’s side all three points and tighten their grip on a Champions League finish. Liverpool’s draw at home to Aston Villa means United need just one point from their final two fixtures to guarantee a top-four spot.
