Man City’s Woes Continue, Lose Manchester Derby to United
Manchester United poured on the misery for flagging Premier League champions Manchester City as late goals by Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo snatched an unlikely 2-1 away victory from the jaws of defeat on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s side were heading for a third consecutive league defeat as they trailed to Josko Gvardiol’s header.
But a scrappy derby short of quality had a stunning late twist as a mistake by Matheus Nunes led to a penalty which allowed Fernandes the chance to level from the spot in the 88th minute.
City had hardly got over that shock when seconds later Diallo sent the visiting fans into delirium with a superb finish from the tightest of angles.
City have now won only once in 11 games in all competitions and stay fifth in the table while United move up to 12th position.
