Fergie time is back: two goals in two minutes brought Manchester United victory over City
Ruben Amorim picked up his biggest win at Manchester United so far - under the Portuguese's leadership the Red Devils beat Manchester City.
The three points were won in the best traditions of the Alex Ferguson era. MU were trailing from the 36th minute after a header from Josko Guardiola and turned things around in the end of the game.
The hero of Amorim's team was young Amad Diallo. In the 88th minute, the Ivorian earned a penalty, which was calmly converted by captain Bruno Fernandes, and in the next attack he scored himself. Amad ran away from three defenders and sent the ball into the empty net after two touches - 2:1 in United's favour!
It should be noted that this defeat continued Manchester City's nightmare streak this season - the Blues have only one win in their last 11 matches.
