Manchester United delivered a sensational late turnaround to defeat Manchester City 2-1 in a dramatic derby at the Etihad Stadium.
City appeared poised for victory after Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header, but United struck twice in the dying minutes to hand new manager Ruben Amorim a landmark win. Amad Diallo was the star of the night, earning an 88th-minute penalty after being fouled by Matheus Nunes, which Bruno Fernandes converted to equalise. Moments later, Diallo capitalized on a defensive lapse to score the winner from a tight angle, stunning the home crowd and igniting wild celebrations among United’s fans.
Amorim’s bold decision to drop Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the squad paid off, despite an early setback with Mason Mount limping off injured. The match had been largely uneventful, with United squandering their best chance when Fernandes missed a one-on-one opportunity in the 73rd minute. However, Diallo’s energy and composure turned the tide, ensuring United bounced back from recent defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. The victory not only revitalises United’s campaign but also solidifies Amorim’s standing among supporters as a manager unafraid to make tough calls and inspire dramatic results.
