It’s possible that Pep Guardiola’s decline as yesterday’s man is paralleling Ruben Amorim’s ascent.
With two late goals to reverse the outcome, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2-1 in an exciting match.
Josko Gvardiol’s opening goal in the 36th minute had put City ahead, but they hardly deserved it. They only won the possession battle by 52 percent and appeared uneasy in contrast to their typically assured selves.
By the end, United felt they had deserved the victory after matching City with ten shots and three on goal each.
Amad’s moment of brilliance, a magnificent strike that will be featured on derby highlight reels for years to come, was the game-winning goal.
Manchester United’s “incredibly persisent” late victory left City manager Pep Guardiola in complete disbelief.
Guardiola stated, “Not much to say,” following the game. They were quite relentless, so there was no defense.
At The Etihad, Guardiola was in a somber mood as the final whistle blew: “Guardiola marched onto the pitch and made a point of consoling every single Manchester City player,” according to Simon Stone of BBC Sports.
