Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, with late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo intensifying the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s struggling side.
City appeared to be on track for an important win after Josko Gvardiol’s header gave them a first-half lead. Despite their dominance, Manchester United found it difficult to create goal-scoring opportunities throughout the match. However, in a thrilling finish, United equalized just before full-time when Matheus Nunes was penalized for fouling Amad in the box, allowing Fernandes to confidently convert the penalty.
In a stunning turn of events, United clinched the win just minutes later. Amad skillfully controlled a long ball from Lisandro Martinez before slotting it in from a very tight angle, sealing an impressive comeback.
This victory lifts Manchester United to 12th place in the Premier League standings, while Manchester City remains fifth, having won just once in their last 11 matches across all competitions.
This match not only demonstrates United’s resilience but may also serve as a turning point in their season, offering hope to fans for better performances ahead. Meanwhile, Manchester City faces growing concerns over their form and future as they strive to regain their competitive edge.
