Match report: City 1 United 2
Ruben Amorim’s first Manchester derby ended in a sweet success as United produced a stunning late comeback to beat City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Josko Gvardiol headed City in front during a tight first half in the 195th confrontation between the fierce local rivals.
It looked like it was going to end in disappointment for the Reds before the closing stages, when Amad earned a penalty, which Bruno Fernandes coolly converted, and then netted a 90th-minute winner himself.
The victory - our first away at City since 2021 - means Amorim has got the better of Pep Guardiola for the second time in as many months - after guiding his former club Sporting to a 4-1 win over City in the Champions League.
