Amad Diallo scored a 90th-minute winner as Manchester United made a stunning late comeback to beat Manchester City 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.
City, the four-time defending champions, were leading 1-0 going into the 88th minute at the Etihad Stadium. However, Bruno Fernandes equalized with a penalty, and Diallo then flicked the ball past goalkeeper Ederson before scoring to give United the victory.
City fans reacted with jeers at the final whistle as their team’s poor form continued, with only one win and eight losses in their last 11 games.
It was Ruben Amorim’s first derby win as United’s head coach. He had previously led Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 victory over City in November during one of his final games with the Portuguese club.
For a long time, it seemed like United was heading for a third straight league loss after Josko Gvardiol scored a header in the 36th minute to put City ahead.
Fernandes missed a chance when he was through on goal in the second half, and United struggled to create chances against a City team that rarely seemed close to adding to its lead.
But in the dramatic final moments, Diallo chased after a poorly played backpass from Matheus Nunes. Nunes then fouled Diallo in the box, and referee Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty.
Fernandes confidently converted the penalty, sending Ederson the wrong way.
Just moments later, Diallo ran onto a long pass from Lisandro Martinez, rounded Ederson, and rolled the ball into the net from a tight angle.
United is in 12th place, five points behind fifth-placed City.
Sarr Double
Ismaila Sarr scored twice as Crystal Palace won 3-1 against Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.
Sarr also assisted Trevoh Chalobah in the win at the Amex Stadium, which helped Palace move four points clear of the relegation zone.
Brighton is in ninth place and has not won in four matches.
Palace took the lead in the 27th minute with a goal from Chalobah, and Sarr doubled the lead in the 33rd minute.
Sarr added his second in the 82nd minute before Marc Guehi scored an own goal to give Brighton one back. This was Guehi’s second own goal in his last four games.
