Fernandes found the net with the aid of a deflection from the outstretched leg of Phillips to create history.
The Portuguese has been United’s best player in his first Premier League campaign scoring 18 goals and providing 11 assists.
Apart from the Premier League, he scored 5 goals in the UEL, 4 in UCL and 1 in the FA Cup.
Frank Lampard held the record when scored 27 goals in a successful campaign for the Blues in 2009/10.
Lampard scored 22 in the league, 3 in the FA Cup followed by a goal each in the UCL and Community Shield.
His contributions helped Chelsea win the Premier League, FA Cup as well as the Community Shield that season.
Bruno Fernandes breaking this record must give him a personal satisfaction but not for the team as he lacked support.
The results have not fallen in place for United and they lost successive home matches against Leicester and Liverpool.
He has been involved in 44 goal involvements in 50 top-flight matches for United scoring 26 and creating 18 since his arrival.
