Amad Diallo stuns Manchester City in dramatic derby victory

Amad Diallo has delivered a match-winning performance for Manchester United, scoring a late winner to deepen Manchester City’s ongoing struggles under Pep Guardiola. The thrilling finale marked another blow for City, who have now suffered eight defeats in their last 11 games.

The match began with Josko Gvardiol giving City the lead in the first half with a powerful header, setting the tone for what seemed like a controlled performance. However, a critical error by Matheus Nunes turned the game on its head. Nunes’s weak backpass in the dying minutes led to a penalty for United, calmly converted by Bruno Fernandes to level the score just as regular time expired.

Moments later, Diallo capitalized on a defense-splitting pass, flicked the ball over Ederson, and slotted it into the net to seal a sensational victory for United. The dramatic turnaround sent the away fans into raptures and provided a major boost for manager Ruben Amorim, who made bold pre-match decisions by benching Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

The loss compounds Manchester City’s woes, as Guardiola faces mounting pressure to reverse their alarming form. Meanwhile, the victory stands out as Amorim’s defining moment since taking charge of United, reigniting the team’s confidence in their pursuit of glory this season.
