Amad Diallo This Sunday he became the great hero of Manchester Unitedgave him the derby against him Pep Guardiola’s Manchester Citythat the crisis does not stop (1-2). The English champions are fifth in the Premier table, outside the Champions zone, and, if the Liverpool won its pending match against Everton, the city are 12 points behind the ‘reds’, the leaders. United are 12th.
He’s on his way United of suffering their fourth straight home defeat of city, something that hasn’t happened since 1955, when Diallo He turned the match in a great way, in two fatal minutes for the Etihas team. First, in the 88th minute, when he was the target of a penalty which he converted Bruno Fernandes to level the amount of Josko Guardiol. And then, at 90′. by deciding with an objective of enormous quality against a city which fell again this season. This is their fifth defeat in the current English championship.
The Manchester derby was not brilliant. Plenty of stars gathered at the Etihad, but above all, it was the inaccuracies on both sides that dominated. United started well, then City took over. But there was no success in their arrival against the goal defended by André Onana.
Mason Mount’s misfortune was on display: Amorim included him in the starting eleven ahead of the crucial match against City and the England international had to retire with an injury in the 14th minute, when he was replaced by Kobbie Mainoo.
City advanced thanks to Gvardiol, who has 4 goals in the Premier League and is the second highest scorer for the ‘Citizen’ team in the championship, after Erling Haaland (with 13, top scorer currently tied with Mohamed Salah).
Gvardiol scored with a header after a lateral cross from Kevin de Bruyne in the 36th minute The ball hit Amad Diallo and the ball fell to the Croatian, who hit a header.
A meeting has taken place between impression and imprecision. Bruno Fernandes wasted a good chance from Rasmus Hojlund’s pass, Mainoo and an excellent Amad Diallo had one each. And it was a double fault by Matheus Nunes that United took advantage of to tie it. Nunes first missed a back pass and then knocked Diallo down.
Bruno Fernandes, not exactly at his best this afternoon, converted the ultimate penalty. 1-1. But that wasn’t all: Diallo froze the Etihad with a superb goal, taking advantage of an assist from Lisandro Martínez, which gave United the derby and once again revealed City’s massive crisis. The Ivorian winger ran to collect the ball, controlled to dispossess Ederson with a hat trick and finished with immense quality. This Sunday Manchester went red.
