Hojlund had the last laugh after Amad Diallo inspired a late comeback for Manchester United at Man City. Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund joked that Kyle Walker should win an Oscar after Roy Keane criticised the Manchester City’s defender play-acting in the derby.
Hojlund and Walker were involved in a heated confrontation during the first half at the Etihad but it was the United striker who had the last laugh as Amad Diallo inspired a dramatic comeback. Walker was involved in an argument with Hojlund after clipping the United striker, but then fell to the ground as the pair went head-to-head.

Replays showed there had been little to no further contact between Hojlund and Walker after the initial head-to-head, but that did not stop the 34-year-old collapsing to the turf. On Sky Sports, former United captain Keane slated Walker’s dive as “embarrassing” and Hojlund took to Instagram shortly after United’s 2-1 win to post a brilliant comeback.
Along with a picture of himself and Walker butting heads, Hojlund wrote: “Manchester is red; Violets are blue; What a brilliant performance; But the Oscar goes to…”. Initially, it seemed as if Hojlund was risking a red card after losing his head, but Walker in the end seemed to escape a sending off.
