Watch: Pitch invaders swarm around Bruno Fernandes for pictures

Portugal were in action today for the third time in a week and in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence, it was another Manchester United star who stepped up to steal the show.

Portugal sit pretty in their World Cup qualifying group and despite not having their talisman with them, they got the job done against a resilient Azerbaijan side.

Bruno Fernandes was the star of the encounter in Baku, the 26-year-old was at the heart of everything Fernando Santos’ men created in the attacking third. Fernandes was credited with the assist for Bernardo Silva’s opener and played a big part in the second goal.
