Manchester United delivered a stunning late comeback to defeat Manchester City 2-1 in a thrilling Manchester derby, leaving Pep Guardiola’s side reeling from yet another disappointing Premier League result.
City dominated possession early on and broke the deadlock in the 36th minute when Joško Gvardiol capitalized on a defensive lapse to head in a perfectly delivered corner.
Despite their advantage, City failed to convert their dominance into more goals, keeping the contest alive for United.
United, under the guidance of manager Ruben Amorim, showcased resilience and tactical discipline in the second half.
As the game approached its closing stages, the visitors found a lifeline in the 88th minute.
Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty after Amad Diallo was fouled in City’s 18 yard, leveling the score at 1-1.
Just two minutes later, substitute Amad Diallo stunned the host with a superbly executed goal in the 90th minute.
Latching onto a long pass, Diallo calmly slotted the ball past Ederson, sending Ethihad into a frenzy and sealing a dramatic 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.
The result marks a significant boost for United, who have struggled for consistency this season but seem to be finding their stride under Amorim.
For City, however, the loss compounds their woes in the Premier League, as they continue to falter in their title defense.
This latest derby defeat raises questions about Guardiola’s tactical choices and his team’s ability to maintain focus in crucial moments.
With pressure mounting, City must regroup quickly to revive their league campaign, while United fans will hope this victory signals the start of a resurgence.
