Two from Casemiro the opener a screamer and Bruno Fernandes plus one from Alejandro Garnacho wipes away the dog-days gloom of Erik ten Hag’s tenure, and is an apt gift to Rúben Amorim should he be in place for Chelsea’s visit on Sunday.

Casemiro ignited the move this time, locating Diogo Dalot along the right. He shifted his body to face the ball. Slice in a cross that was smashe in by Garnacho.
