Amad Diallo’s late brilliance led Manchester United to a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City, deepening Pep Guardiola’s woes in what is now his worst run as a manager. Ruben Amorim’s side fell behind to Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header, exposing United’s struggles defending set-pieces. However, a dramatic turnaround began in the final minutes when Diallo won a penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes in the 88th minute. Just two minutes later, Diallo raced onto a Lisandro Martinez pass and scored a superb winner from a tight angle, sealing a vital victory and extending City’s miserable run to eight defeats in 11 matches.
