Man Utd deepens Man City crisis

Manchester United scored twice in the final three minutes to deepen Premier League champions Manchester City’s crisis with a 2-1 win at the Etihad yesterday. 

City have now won just once in their last 11 games, a run that includes eight defeats. 

Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header had put Pep Guardiola’s men in front. 

But United hit back for just Ruben Amorim’s second win in five league matches since taking charge last month.

Bruno Fernandes’ penalty levelled before Amad Diallo squeezed home the winner from a narrow angle in the last minute of regular time. 

Defeat leaves City still in fifth, nine point off leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. 

United climb to 12th and within five points of their city rivals. 

The Red Devils will be hoping a dramatic victory can also be the starting point for Amorim to turn around the momentum of a rivalry that City have dominated over the past decade. 

Amorim made a bold call before kick-off as both Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were left out of the United squad with the Portuguese saying he “pays attention to everything”.

The United boss may have regretted that call as early as the 12th minute when Mason Mount limped off to continue his injury-ravaged spell since joining from Chelsea 18 months ago. A shortage of confidence in both sides was clear to see in a cagey start. — SuperSport.
