'Not good enough': Pep Guardiola's blunt admission after City's 'astonishing' derby meltdown
Amad Diallo struck a 90th-minute winner as Manchester United staged a stunning late comeback to beat Manchester City 2-1 in the Premier League on Monday morning (AEDT).
Four-time defending champion City led the Manchester derby 1-0 going into the 88th at the Etihad Stadium. But Bruno Fernandes levelled the game from the penalty spot and Diallo flicked the ball past Ederson and then scored to seal victory for United.
City fans jeered at the final whistle as their once dominant team's woeful run of form extended to one win and eight losses in 11 games, as pressure mounts on manager Pep Guardiola.

"I'm the boss, I'm the manager and I'm not good enough. It's as simple as that," Guardiola said.
It was the first derby victory for new United head coach Ruben Amorim, who led Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 win against City in one of his last games in charge of the Portuguese club in November.
But for a long time, it looked like a third-straight league loss for United after Josko Gvardiol's headed goal in the 36th.
Fernandes was guilty of missing the target when through on goal in the second half and United struggled to create chances against a City team that rarely looked like adding to its lead.
But in a dramatic end to the match, Diallo raced after an under-hit backpass from Matheus Nunes. Nunes then brought down the United forward in the box and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the penalty spot.

Fernandes made no mistake this time — sending Ederson the wrong way.
Moments later, Diallo was running onto a long pass from Lisandro Martinez, took the ball around Ederson and rolled it into the net from a tight angle.
United is 12th and five points behind fifth-placed City.
