Manchester United earn dramatic late win at Manchester City
In a thrilling match on Sunday, Manchester United stunned Manchester City by scoring two late goals to secure a 2-1 victory. The defeat was especially tough for City's manager Pep Guardiola, who must have been hurting after his team's early lead from Josko Gvardiol's goal was overturned by Bruno Fernandes' penalty in the 88th minute and Amad Diallo's winning goal just two minutes later.

Manchester United struck twice in the dying minutes to earn a dramatic 2-1 win at Manchester City on Sunday, deepening the pain of City boss Pep Guardiola.
Josko Gvardiol's first-half goal appeared to have won the game for the Premier League champions but Bruno Fernandes levelled from the penalty spot in the 88th minute and the impressive Amad Diallo poked home the winner two minutes later.
Ruben Amorim's side were heading for a third consecutive league defeat as they trailed to Josko Gvardiol's header.
But a scrappy derby short of quality had a stunning late twist as a mistake by Matheus Nunes led to a penalty which allowed Fernandes the chance to level from the spot in the 88th minute.
City had hardly got over that shock when seconds later Diallo sent the visiting fans into delirium with a superb finish from the tightest of angles.
City have now won only once in 11 games in all competitions and stay fifth in the table. United moved up to 12th.
