Amad Diallo had a brilliant day to help Manchester United make a crazy comeback 2-1 against Manchester City right at Etihad in the highlight match of round 16 of the Premier League.
Diallo created a turning point when he won a penalty for the Red Devils after a mistake by Matheus Nunes, creating an opportunity for Bruno to score an equalizer from the 11m mark in the 88th minute.
Just 2 minutes later, the Ivorian star escaped, controlled the ball delicately and finished into the Man City net, sealing a 2-1 victory for his team.
Before that, Man City was the team that had a favorable start with Joško Gvardiol’s opening goal in the first half.
This dramatic victory helps Manchester United have 22 points, continuing to stand in 13th place on the Premier League rankings this season.
