Man United manager Ruben Amorim won his first Manchester derby on Sunday following a dramatic finish at the Etihad Stadium.
The Red Devils were trailing 1-0 until the 88th minute courtesy of a first-half headed opener from Josko Gvardiol.
But Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot before Amad Diallo - who had won the spot kick - completed the turnaround right at the death.
