Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City in Sunday’s derby at the Etihad Stadium, inflicting further misery on Pep Guardiola’s struggling side.
Josko Gvardiol had given Manchester City the lead with a first-half header, appearing to put the hosts on course for a much-needed win as Manchester United continued to struggle defending corners.
Softfootball understands the visitors dug deep in the closing stages, with Bruno Fernandes converting from the spot two minutes from time after Matheus Nunes fouled Amad Diallo inside the box.
There was still late drama to come, as Amad Diallo raced onto a Lisandro Martinez pass before finishing beyond Ederson to complete the turnaround in the 90th minute.
The result marked Manchester City’s eighth defeat in 11 matches, extending the worst run of Guardiola’s managerial career, while Ruben Amorim continued his strong record against Manchester City following his earlier win as Sporting boss.
