The “Immaculate” Masterclass: Steve Bruce Hails Senne Lammens

While the headlines were dominated by Benjamin Šeško’s dramatic 94th-minute winner and Bruno Fernandes’ creative wizardry, former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce has turned heads by pointing the spotlight elsewhere. According to Bruce, the real reason United escaped their 3-2 victory over Fulham with all three points wasn’t just the late heroics it was the “immaculate” performance of goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

The young shot-stopper, who has been quietly establishing himself as United’s No. 1 under interim boss Michael Carrick, produced a display of discipline and composure that left Bruce stunned.

Why Lammens Was the “Real Masterclass”

In a game that felt like a throwback to the high-octane Ferguson era, United led 2-0 before a late Fulham surge leveled the score at 2-2. While defensive lapses from veteran figures caused chaos, Lammens remained a beacon of calm. Bruce, speaking to BBC Sport, singled out a pivotal moment early in the match:

The Point-Blank Denial: Before Casemiro opened the scoring, Lammens made a “nailed-on” save against Joachim Andersen. Despite being off-balance and under intense pressure, his reflexes kept United in the game.

The Verdict: “Senne Lammens has grown in stature,” Bruce remarked. “His handling is immaculate, and his positioning was the only reason United survived that late onslaught.”

Fans Finally in Agreement

For months, Lammens has flown under the radar, often overshadowed by high-profile summer signings like Mbeumo and Cunha. However, the tide has turned. A staggering 92% of fans in recent polls agree that Lammens was the “secret engine” of the match.

The Belgian’s ability to command his box during the “dying embers” of the game when Fulham “could smell an equalizer”provided the foundation for Šeško to eventually snatch the win.

The Carrick Connection

Under Michael Carrick’s leadership, United have secured three wins from three, but the tactical shift has put more pressure on the goalkeeper to be “proactive rather than reactive.” Bruce noted that Lammens’ discipline in holding his line and his improved distribution have been the unsung catalysts for this turnaround.

“People look at the goals, but without Lammens, there is no victory to celebrate. He’s finally getting the credit he deserves.” Steve Bruce
