00:00Merry Christmas, Manchester United fans. It's full-time from the Etihad Stadium where the away end is still half ten minutes after full-time.
00:09Manchester United came from behind to beat Man City against all the odds.
00:14Two goals in 54 seconds right at the death. Bruno Fernandes equalised with a counter-kick and then Ahmad Diallo rounded Ederson, squeezed the ball in from a tight angle.
00:25Man City's misery continues. Manchester United are in a winter dreamland under the movement of Amarin, who made big calls today.
00:34Four changes from the team that beat Vitoria Pleasant in midweek. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnaccio not even in the matchday squad.
00:43Amarin said that was down to their performances, not anything else, just that it was a tactical decision and he didn't believe they were worthy of a place in his matchday squad.
00:53United, like we said, maybe fortunate to go behind by just one goal. City with a better team in the first half.
01:00They deservedly took a lead. New York's goal, Barbiol headed in from a corner of green.
01:05City continued to dominate for much of the second half as well. United looked just a bit light in attack but they didn't have too many threats in the road.
01:13But now we get City to a degree. Bruno Fernandes raced through a goal. He should have equalised. He chipped the ball just wide of the City goal.
01:21United thought they should have had a penalty as well. Rasmus Huling went down under pressure from Ruben Diaz in the City box.
01:27But nothing was given. United were still 1-0 down going into the final few minutes of the game.
01:32And then a moment of absolute madness. Mateo Jimenez, who was playing at fullback due to City's defensive shortage.
01:38He played the ball back, he was intercepted by Amad and as he looked to rectify his mistake, he took the Ivorian down on the box.
01:45United had a penalty. Bruno Fernandes sent Ederson the wrong way to level scores and that was it.
01:5054 seconds, within a minute of the restart, United had another. A brilliant ball over the top.
01:55Amad headed it down, took it around Ederson and the angle, which looked so tight, well this time he made it work in his advantage.
02:01He got the ball, sneaked it into the back corner and United completed their comeback. A 2-1 win.
02:08City, again, put some pressure on towards the end but United saw it out.
02:12The away end, as you can see there, can't zoom in too well, but United held on.
02:17A 2-1 win, Ruben Amorim's first victory in his Manchester derby, second victory over Pep Guardiola in little over a month.
02:24United, well, no rising in the table. City's issues continue once again.
02:28Full time from here to HAD, where United fans are still making their voices heard.
02:33Manchester United 2, Manchester City 1.
