Under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, United showed incredible resilience and determination, scoring two decisive goals in the final minutes to flip the derby on its head. The game initially seemed to be going City's way after a dominant first half where Joško Gvardiol broke the deadlock in the 36th minute with a powerful header that left United goalkeeper André Onana rooted to the spot.

As the game approached the final whistle, City appeared to be cruising towards another routine derby win, but the tide turned dramatically in the 89th minute. Matheus Nunes made a crucial mistake in City's defense, committing a foul in the box that handed United a lifeline in the form of a penalty.

United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, stepped up with nerves of steel and confidently converted the penalty, sending Ederson the wrong way to bring the score level. The equalizer ignited the United camp, and the momentum shifted entirely in their favor.

With only seconds left on the clock, Amad Diallo produced a moment of brilliance to seal the victory. The Ivorian forward demonstrated exceptional composure and skill, receiving a precise through ball, rounding Ederson with ease, and firing the ball into the back of the net. His stunning goal sent the away fans into raptures and silenced the Etihad Stadium.

The dramatic turnaround left Pep Guardiola and his team in shock. Despite their dominance for much of the match, City were left to rue their defensive errors and inability to capitalize on their early lead.

The defeat sees City drop to fifth place in the Premier League standings with 27 points, while United’s victory propels them to 12th with 22 points. The result provides a significant morale boost to a United side that has struggled for consistency this season and could serve as a turning point in their campaign.

As the players and fans celebrated this iconic derby win, the match will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most dramatic chapters in Manchester United's storied rivalry with Manchester City.
