Liverpool held by Spurs, Bruno Fernandes nears assists record as Man United beats Aston Villa 3-1

MANCHESTER: Bruno Fernandes closed in on the Premier League’s assists record as Manchester United tightened their grip on a return to the Champions League with a 3-1 win against Aston Villa on Sunday. 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.
