Manchester United Beats Man City at Etihad

Manchester United staged a dramatic late comeback to defeat Manchester City 2-1 in an intense derby at the Etihad Stadium, marking an early milestone for new manager Ruben Amorim.

City appeared on course for victory after Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header put them ahead in a game that lacked clear opportunities for much of the contest. However, United turned the tide in the dying minutes with an electrifying performance led by Amad Diallo.

The 88th minute saw Diallo win a crucial penalty after being brought down by Matheus Nunes. Bruno Fernandes calmly converted the spot-kick to level the game. Moments later, Diallo capitalized on a defensive lapse, scoring from a tight angle to seal the victory for United.

Amorim’s bold decisions paid off as he dropped Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the squad. However, his plans were disrupted early when Mason Mount suffered an injury just 14 minutes into the match.

Despite the initial setback, United persisted, with Fernandes missing a chance to equalize earlier in the second half after lifting a shot over Ederson but wide of the target.

The final moments of the match saw City fans jeering in frustration as United supporters celebrated a hard-fought and emotional win.
