ROBBIE SAVAGE’S praise for Bruno Fernandes instantly backfired when it resulted to a Galatasaray goal.
The Manchester United captain had doubled his side’s lead in Turkey after Alejandro Garnacho’s opener.
Bruno Fernandes’ foul led to a Galatasaray goal
The host’s were on the break when Fernandes sprinted back and gave away a foul.
He was initially praised by TNT Sports commentator Savage for tracking back.
Savage said: “Look at Fernandes, just look at the captain. Look at that recovery run! Recovery runs, look at him now, he’s still going.”
The former player-turned pundit then let out a laugh and said “that’s unlucky” as Fernandes conceded a foul.
And the resulting free-kick led to ex-Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech curling home to pull one back and leave egg on Savage’s face.
One fan said: “Robbie Savage getting so excited by Bruno tracking back and ends up committing a foul which leads to a goal.”
Another added: “Robbie Savage wetting himself over Bruno tracking back, just for him to give away the free they concede from.”
One joked: “Hilarious for Robbie Savage to be gagging over Bruno Fernandes just before he gave away a silly foul and also left a gap in the wall for Galatasaray’s goal.”
Another posted: “Funny Robbie Savage waxing lyrical about Fernandes led to their goal.”
