It was for his first City goal in the 5-3 victory over Sunderland at the Etihad.
Fernández lit the blue touchpaper for an enthralling match with the opener which teed up our fifth successive Premier League win to start the 2026/27 campaign.
With the Black Cats defensive line expecting a free-kick into the box, Fernández whipped in a near post shot from a tight angle that caught out goalkeeper Robin Roefs.

Fernández saw off a fine list of contenders to win the award with debutant Floyd Samba’s second in the 5-0 Carabao Cup victory over Norwich coming in as runner-up with Alex Greenwood’s winner against Charlton placing third.
Also up for contention were Ryan McAidoo’s effort in the Canaries Carabao Cup success, Bunny Shaw’s second strike in our opening day 3-1 home win against Birmingham, Mary Fowler’s effort in a fine 4-1 win at Aston Villa, Teddie Lamb’s effort in our UEFA Youth League opener away at FC Porto as well as Dexter Oliver’s fourth strike and Timeo Whisker’s first in our Under-18 emphatic 6-0 win at Everton.
Congratulations to Enzo on winning the September award.
