Tottenham avoided extending an unwanted club low by halting their losing run with a late equalizer to draw 1-1 with Liverpool.
Fernandes provided assists for two of United’s goals against Villa to take his tally for the season to 16. The record for a single Premier League campaign is 20 — jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Fernandes, who now has 100 assists as a United player, has up to eight more games to set a new record in English soccer’s top division.
