After an opening period largely lacking in quality, it was City who drew first blood at the Etihad as United were once again punished from an opposition set piece. United had opportunities throughout the second half but looked set to be going home empty handed before turning the game on its head in the closing stages.

Man United left it late to secure a dramatic comeback in the Manchester derby on Sunday. Amad Diallo netted a winner just seconds after Bruno Fernandes had levelled from the penalty spot. The result marks the latest blow for Pep Guardiola's side who have now won just one of their last 11 games.

Ederson – 5. Left high and dry by Matheus Nunes for the penalty. Horrible moment when rushing out for Amad Diallo’s winner. Kyle Walker – 5. Absolutely pathetic playacting in trying to get Rasmus Hojlund sent off. Didn’t use the ball nearly as well as he might.
