(The Post News)– Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, overturning an early deficit to claim all three points in the derby.
City looked in control after taking the lead through Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header, but United refused to back down. The Red Devils leveled the score late in the game after Amad Diallo won a penalty, coolly converted by Bruno Fernandes. Diallo then became the hero, netting the stoppage-time winner to silence the Etihad crowd.
City, which dominated possession but lacked their usual cutting edge, now sits nine points behind league leaders Liverpool. United, on the other hand, climbed to 12th in the table, a much-needed boost after weeks of inconsistency.
Amad’s standout performance drew praise from fans and pundits alike, with Gary Neville’s jubilant commentary going viral post-match. The result also sparked celebrations in United’s dressing room, with footage showing players dancing alongside a club chef. For City, the defeat raises concerns about their form and defensive lapses, with Pep Guardiola admitting, “I’m not doing well enough.” Questions will linger as City seeks to bounce back.
