Man City vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Amad Diallo turns dramatic derby
Manchester City 1-2 Manchester United: A turgid derby had a dramatic twist as Amad Diallo stole the show and increased the misery on Pep Guardiola
Amad Diallo scored a stunning winner for Manchester United to turn a dramatic derby as Manchester City collapsed again to continue their miserable run under Pep Guardiola.
Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header looked to have settled a clash that was low on quality, until Diallo punished a weak backpass from Matheus Nunes to win Ruben Amorim’s side a late penalty.
Bruno Fernandes stepped up to equalise as the clock ticked over to 90 minutes - before Diallo struck again to reach a through pass, flick the ball over Ederson, and squeeze a finish in to spark wild scenes in the away end.
The result means City have now lost eight of their last 11 games, while Amorim enjoyed his best moment yet in charge of United after starting the day by dropping both Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
But up stepped Diallo, who inspired an unthinkable comeback. Follow all of the latest from the Manchester derby in our live blog below:

Penalty! They had it under control but Nunes sells Ederson short with the pass and Amad latches onto it. He’s in the box but rather than shoot, he waits and falls under the challenge from Nunes for a penalty.
