Bruno Fernandes nets first Premier League hat-trick of 2026-27 in United’s 5-2 win over Ipswich

Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick for Manchester United against Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on August 30, 2026, producing the first Premier League hat-trick of the 2026-27 season. Manchester United defeated Ipswich 5-2.

Bruno Fernandes, described in the article as Manchester United’s best player last season, was noted to have resumed that form in the opening stages of the 2026-27 campaign. The report said many had expected Erling Haaland to claim the season’s first treble, but Fernandes supplied it instead. The hat-trick was described as the third of his Manchester United career and his second Premier League hat-trick for the club, the previous league treble coming in United’s opening home match of the 2021-22 season against Leeds United.

Ipswich opened the scoring when Leif Davis put the visitors ahead in the 29th minute. Fernandes levelled 11 minutes later after collecting a pass from Matheus Cunha and beating the custodian with his left foot. Those two goals completed the first half scoring sequence described in the report.

According to the article, Fernandes then converted a penalty “after an hour,” which the source gives as the match’s 60th-minute landmark. He completed his hat-trick seven minutes after that penalty, with the third Manchester United goal of his personal tally coming in the 67th minute. The match finished 5-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The piece states that Khel Now has compiled a running list of hat-tricks in the new Premier League season, with Bruno Fernandes listed first for producing the campaign’s inaugural treble. The article also commented that the season has just started and that more attackers will be vying for hat-tricks as they compete for the league Golden Boot.

So far in the 2026-27 Premier League season there has been one hat-trick, scored by Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United against Ipswich Town on August 30, 2026, in United’s 5-2 home win at Old Trafford.
