GOOOOOAL!!!! Amad scores the winning goal against Man City



 

Man Utd player ratings vs Man City: Amad Diallo is a GENIUS! Winger’s late heroics seal remarkable comeback win as Red Devils pile misery on Pep Guardiola’s shambolic side

A piece of late brilliance from Amad Diallo saw Manchester United ransack the Etihad Stadium and snatch a stunning 2-1 victory in the derby over Manchester City.


United were trailing for most of the game to a Josko Gvardiol header but Amad won a penalty which Bruno Fernandes took full advantage to level in the 88th minute. The Ivorian forward then produced a stunning piece of control and finish past the hapless Ederson in the 91st minute, handing United their first win on enemy territory since 202.

Ruben Amorim made a gutsy decision pre-game by leaving Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of the squad although the players he did select not exactly do him proud. Mason Mount was forced off injured in just the 13th minute while Amad was repeatedly caught offside in a bitty first half.

Gvardiol headed City in front following a short corner routine, the fourth goal United have conceded from a set piece in three Premier League games and their eighth this season. Amorim was staring down a third consecutive league defeat but, just as in midweek in the Europa League, he turned to his bench and watched his stage stage a memorable turnaround.

GOAL rates Man United’s players from the Etihad Stadium…

  • Goalkeeper & Defence

    Andre Onana (5/10):

    Nothing he could do about the goal. Tipped a deflected Foden shot round the post. Looked a little nervous on the ball after his howler in Pilsen.

    Matthijs de Ligt (6/10):

    Looked comfortable on and off the ball.

    Harry Maguire (7/10):

    Excellent. Barely allowed Haaland a sight of goal, reacting quickly to snuff out any sense of danger.

    Lisandro Martinez (6/10):

    Confident playing out and put in several key blocks to limit City’s threat, at least in open play. A fine pass released Amad for the second goal.
