MANCHESTER, England
Bruno Fernandes and Amad score late to stun champions and claim a sensational 2-1 win at Etihad Stadium.
Amad inspired a remarkable late turnaround as Manchester United came from behind to seal a dramatic 2-1 derby victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Out-of-form City looked set to move within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool after Josko Gvardiol's header put them in the ascendency in the first half.
However, Pep Guardiola's side were far from their best throughout Sunday's contest and were hit with two late sucker punches, with Amad playing a central role in both goals.
The 22-year-old drew a rash tackle from Matheus Nunes to win a penalty that Bruno Fernandes converted in the 88th minute, before scoring himself from a tight angle with stoppage time looming to hand Ruben Amorim a memorable win.
Man Utd climbed to 12th after snapping a two-game losing run and are now just five points adrift of City, who remain fifth, nine points off the top.
