Manchester City vs Manchester United live updates: Late Amad Diallo goal wins Premier League derby

Follow live reaction to today’s Manchester derby, as Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo struck at the death to win the game
Late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo saw Manchester United snatch an unlikely 2-1 victory at the Etihad that piles further pressure on Pep Guardiola’s ailing Manchester City.

The reigning champions looked to be on course for a vital — if uninspiring — victory after Josko Gvardiol headed them into a first-half lead.

United struggled to create many chances but leveled the score with just minutes remaining when Matheus Nunes brought down Diallo in the box, with Fernandes converting the penalty kick.

And United then snatched all three points when Diallo brought down Lisandro Martinez’s long ball and finished from the tightest of angles.

The win moves United up to 12th in the Premier League table. City remain fifth, having now won only once in 11 games in all competitions.

It was then Amad’s turn to face the questions and he remained very calm despite the fact he had just single-handedly won a Manchester derby.

“We wanted to win this game. We know it was not easy in the first half. In the second, we pressed well and we wanted to win,” he told Sky Sports.

“This is a derby and you play this game like you have to win. We showed today that we can win every game and we are really happy to win today.”
