Man City vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Amad Diallo turns dramatic derby

Some very strong words from Bernardo Silva when speaking to Sky Sports, who says Manchester City “deserved what happened” in the final five minutes because of “stupid decisions”.

He adds that the champions “played like under-15s” when 1-0 up.

“We totally deserved what happened,” Silva tells Sky Sports. “At this level, if it’s a game or two, you can say that they are being lucky. If it’s 10 games, it’s not about that.

“If in the 87th minute of a derby, you are winning 1-0 with a corner for your team and the ball ends up with your ‘keeper and a penalty for them, my friend…

“If you make these kinds of stupid decisions with three or four minutes to go, you deserve to pay for that.

“If you look at the game, there was only one team that could win. But at the end, we lost, and it’s not one gamee, it’s a lot of games lately.

“We have to look at ourselves. It’s not about luck. It’s the decisions you make. Today, in the last minutes we played like under-15s and we paid the price.”

For City, it was another capitulation, another collapse. After Feyenoord’s three goals in 15 minutes at the Etihad Stadium came United’s two in three. A team who lost a lead to Amorim’s Sporting last month repeated the feat against his Manchester United: but at home, but later, but when their plight is greater.

It was an eighth defeat in 11 games for a manager who has been a byword for winning. Guardiola finished with the now familiar chorus of “sacked in the morning” ringing in his ears. His melodramatic reaction when Matheus Nunes conceded the spot kick that Bruno Fernandes was to convert showed his fears about the fragility of this side. They duly lost. Again.

Manchester City lost a home game after leading at half time for the first time since 8th May 2021, which came against Chelsea. Since then, City went 44 games without defeat in the Premier League after leading at half-time.

Plenty of talk about Manchester Citys horror run. But there should be just as much said about how Amad Diallo lit the derby.

Here he is, speaking to Sky Sports: “We wanted to win, we pressed good. It’s a derby, you have to win. We showed today we could do it.

“I want to thank God for this. Let’s enjoy this and then look to the next game.”

Bruno Fernandes adds: “He’s a man of few words in English! He’s doing great things. There is more to come, too. I want him to keep going. He is always alive. When he’s like this he is unstoppable. He can do this week after week.”

City’s next game? They’re off in midweek and then go to Aston Villa on Saturday night. City are fifth, two points above sixth-placed Villa, and they lost there last season.

Pep Guardiola’s side are still nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. Until the 88th minute, they are about to go level on points with Arsenal.

Pep Guaridola will be “scratching his head, again”, says Gary Neville on Sky Sports.

“This just does not happen to Manchester City, it does not happen to Pep Guardiola. These fans have not seen the like for many many years. These players, serial winners and serial campions.”

“Shell-shocked” and “gob-smacked”, add Roy Keane and Micah Richards.

All the reaction to come.

There were boos at full-time at the Etihad. Manchester City fans are not used to this under Pep Guardiola. An unthinkable late collapse continues a miserable run.

Amad Diallo was United’s only spark and turned the derby.

It was a poor game in many respects in Manchester, with both sides lacking real quality in parts.

City were probably the better of the two sides for the most part, but a draw would have been a fair result overall.

In the end, United pounced at the right time to take advantage of some poor decision-making by City, and they come away with (a perhaps undeserved) three points.

FULL-TIME! The referee brings the game to an end and somehow United escape with three points! A poor game gets a finish worthy of a classic, and City’s players look shellshocked.
