Pep Guardiola admits he is questioning himself after Man City lose to Juventus
Amad Diallo scored a stunning winner for Manchester United to turn a dramatic derby as Manchester City collapsed again to continue their miserable run under Pep Guardiola.
Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header looked to have settled a clash that was low on quality, until Diallo punished a weak backpass from Matheus Nunes to win Ruben Amorim’s side a penalty.
Bruno Fernandes stepped up to equalise as the clock ticked over to 90 minutes – before Diallo struck again to reach a through pass, flick the ball over Ederson, and squeeze a finish in.
The result means City have now lost eight of their last 11 games, while Amorim enjoyed his best moment yet in charge of United after starting the day by dropping both Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

PENALTY TO UNITED! Manchester City 1-0 Manchester United
Penalty! They had it under control but Nunes sells Ederson short with the pass and Amad latches onto it. He’s in the box but rather than shoot, he waits and falls under the challenge from Nunes for a penalty.
