Amad Diallo excels, Man Utd defeats Man City

Both Man City and Man Utd were in poor form before entering the derby in the round of 16 of the Premier League on the night of December 15. At the Etihad Stadium, Man City was the weaker team and suffered defeat.

Man Utd started the game better, while Man City continued to be deadlocked like in recent matches. It was not until the 35th minute that Man City had their first dangerous chance. Josko Gvardiol jumped high to receive Kevin De Bruyne's cross and headed the ball into the visitors' net.

However, the goal did not help Man City play better. Man Utd tried to attack and created many threatening situations.

Throughout the match, Man City's ball possession rate was not much higher than their opponents (53%). The number of shots (10) and shots on target (3) of the two teams were equal.

While leading, Man City failed again due to an inexplicable mistake in the final minutes of the match. The home team misplaced a pass on their own field, then committed a foul that led to a penalty that allowed Bruno Fernandes to equalize in the second half.

In the 90th minute, Man City's high defense was easily defeated. Amad Diallo lifted the ball past the opposing goalkeeper before finishing to seal a 2-1 victory for Man Ud. Both goals that helped Man Utd turn the situation around happened within 2 minutes.

This defeat caused Man City to continue to be left behind by the top team Liverpool. The gap between the two teams is now up to 9 points. Man City has temporarily not lost the 5th position on the rankings. Meanwhile, Man Utd has not been able to rise to the top half.
