Manchester United Completes Late Dramatic Comeback As Manchester City Suffers Another Shock Defeat—-Manchester United staged an incredible comeback late in the game to defeat Manchester City 2-1 in a Premier League clash on Sunday. It was Amad Diallo who scored the decisive winner in the 90th minute.

Manchester City held a 1-0 lead over Manchester United until the 88th minute at the Etihad Stadium. However, a late penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes brought United back into the game. In a dramatic turn of events, Amad Diallo scored the winning goal in the 90th minute, securing a thrilling victory for United and delivering a significant blow to City’s title hopes.

The last-gasp comeback victory delivered a significant blow to Manchester City’s title aspirations. Pep Guardiola’s team has now endured its eighth defeat in 11 matches in all competitions.

The star of the game for United was Amad Diallo. He has also been the stand-out star of new United head coach Ruben Amorim’s newly-started tenure. First, Diallo won a penalty by inducing a rash tackle from left-back Matheus Nunes. Bruno Fernandes scored United’s equaliser from the penalty spot. Then, Diallo scored in the 90th minute to complete United’s comeback win.

City fans were left dejected as the final whistle blew, reflecting the team’s disappointing run of form. With only one win in their last 11 games, City’s dominance has waned significantly.

Manchester City are now in fifth place in the Premier League standings with 27 points after 16 games. They have a measly goal difference of five. They’ve now slipped nine points behind league leaders Liverpool who have 36 points having played one game less.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are in 12th spot in the table, with 22 points from 16 games.

As the Associated Press pointed out this is the first derby victory for United coach 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.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Ademola Lookman On Target as Atlético Madrid Edge Barcelona 3-2 on Aggregate to Reach UCL Semi-Finals—-Atlético Madrid booked their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after edging Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate, despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

Barcelona made a blistering start at the Metropolitano, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring early before Ferran Torres doubled their lead inside 24 minutes to level the tie on aggregate.

However, Atlético responded through Ademola Lookman, whose crucial strike restored his side’s aggregate advantage following their 2-0 first-leg win.

Diego Simeone’s men then held firm under intense pressure, with Barcelona’s hopes taking a major hit when Eric García was sent off for bringing down Alexander Sørloth as he raced through on goal.

Despite late attacking changes from coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona were unable to find the third goal needed to force extra time, as Atlético battled through a tense finish.

The result sees Atlético Madrid reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2017, keeping alive their dream of winning the competition for the first time in their history.

They will now face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals.
