Amad Diallo was the star of the show as Manchester United recorded a comeback 2-1 win over rivals Manchester City in Sunday’s Premier League derby at the Etihad Stadium, Afrosport reports.
Josko Guardiol gave the Citizens the lead in the first half with a header which they were able to hold and potentially claim all three points up until the 87th minute when a Matheus Nunes error gave Amad a chance to capitalise on before another error caused the penalty.
Bruno Fernandes converted and two minutes later an incredible pass from Lisandro Martinez set up Amad again with a chance in space as he went past Ederson to slot it in beautifully and win it for United as City’s nightmare continues.
