Manchester United produced a sensational late comeback to defeat rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Etihad Stadium on Sunday in a thrilling Premier League derby.
Ruben Amorim’s men scored two goals in the final moments, completely turning the game on its head and silencing the City faithful.
City appeared to be in control, taking the lead through Joško Gvardiol’s 36th-minute strike, a goal that looked set to secure all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
However, the tide turned in the 89th minute when Matheus Nunes made a costly error, handling the ball in the penalty area, which handed United a golden opportunity to level the match.
Bruno Fernandes calmly stepped up to take the penalty and coolly slotted the ball past Ederson, sending the game to 1-1 and reigniting United’s hopes.
Barely moments later, the match was turned on its head completely when Amad Diallo delivered the decisive blow. The Ivorian forward showcased exceptional skill as he rounded Ederson with ease before firing home United’s second goal, completing a dramatic turnaround.
The late surge stunned Manchester City’s camp, with the home side left reeling and unable to mount a response. The defeat sees City drop to fifth place in the Premier League standings with 27 points, while Manchester United rise to 12th with 22 points, offering a much-needed boost to their underwhelming campaign so far this season.
