Bruno Fernandes has been ridiculed for his penalty miss against Chelsea on Wednesday that denied Manchester United taking an early lead at Old Trafford.<br /><br />The United captain was given spot-kick responsibilities after Antony was fouled in the penalty box by Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.<br /><br />Fernandes trusted his usual hop-skip-and-jump routine in his run-up but tamely hit the ball into the right of the goal, giving Blues goalkeeper Robert Sanchez a simple save to make.<br /><br />Sanchez had only saved one penalty in the Premier League before denying Fernandes, with the shot-stopper also saving James Ward-Prowse's strike from 12 yards earlier in the season.<br /><br />United eventually took the lead against Chelsea through Scott McTominay's opportunistic close-range finish, but football fans weren't impressed with Fernandes' poor shot.<br /><br />One onlooker commented on Twitter: 'Awful penalty from Bruno. Simple save for Sanchez'<br /><br />Another added: 'Pathetic penalty by Bruno Fernandes,' after Sanchez celebrated his penalty heroics.<br /><br />Some drew comparisons between Fernandes' penalty miss and how Arsenal midfielder Jorginho shapes himself up before striking a spot-kick.<br /><br />Both players have adopted similar styles that have largely worked with Fernandes only missing three Premier League penalties before Wednesday.<br /><br />'LMAO….Bruno doing his worst Jorginho impression and getting it wrong,' was the reaction from one online user.<br /><br />Another quipped: 'Bruno, you hop-skipping dummy. Terrible pen.'<br /><br />The 29-year-old is United's main penalty taker but recently handed duties to Marcus Rashford against Everton, before the England international was relegated to the bench versus Chelsea.
