Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva offered up a savage assessment of his side's latest collapse, claiming Pep Guardiola's side 'played like under-15s' as they threw away a 1-0 lead to lose to Man United. City were leading as the clock struck 87 minutes thanks to Josko Gvardiol's first half header.

But the faltering league champions have been incredibly fragile of late and they saw that exposed once more as a penalty from Bruno Fernandes and a 90th-minute winner from Amad Diallo ensured Ruben Amorim's side took the spoils. 'We deserved what happened,' Silva fumed to Sky Sports.

'At this level a game or two is unlucky. We can't say this is lucky or unlucky - 10 games it's not about that. 'Minute 87 in a derby, winning 1-0 and our corner ends in a penalty for them, if we make these stupid decisions with three or four minutes to go you deserve to pay for that.

Bernardo Silva does not believe Man City were hard done by as they threw away victory. Amad Diallo inspired Manchester United to an improbable late win away to Manchester City. 'Looking at the game I think there was only one team that could win the game, but at the end we lost.'.
Since November 1, no team in the Premier League has a worse points-per-game than Manchester City and that stat is why Silva insists players cannot feel sorry for themselves. 'It's not one game, it's a lot of games lately,' he added. 'We have to look at ourselves. You can say oh it's a bit unlucky, no. It's the decisions you make. Today in the last minute we played like under-15s.
