Manchester United were on the receiving end of yet another penalty kick in Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur. The Red Devils were handed the opportunity to take an early lead following a foul on Anthony Martial within the first 30 seconds.
The Frenchman was played through on goal but was brought down in the box after a clumsy tackle by Davinson Sanchez. Referee Anthony Taylor subsequently whistled for the infringement to hand United what was their ninth penalty in nine Premier League games.
Bruno Fernandes then stepped up to score his second spot-kick in succession. Watch:
What a start at Old Trafford!

In essence, the spot-kick converted by the Portuguese was the earliest penalty goal in a Premier League match since Sergio Aguero against Newcastle in February 2015.
