Two late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo earned Manchester United a sensational 2-1 comeback win over rivals Manchester City.
Josko Gvardiol's close-range header gave City a half-time lead at the Etihad Stadium, offering Pep Guardiola hope that he'd oversee just a second win in City's last 11 games across all competitions.
The champions were again far from their fluent best, with the atmosphere of the Manchester derby also sorely lacking, but it looked as if they would hold on for all three points as United again struggled in the system of new head coach Ruben Amorim.
However, another stunning late show saw a complete turnaround in proceedings, sparked by a moment of madness from Matheus Nunes. The Portuguese midfielder sold Ederson short with a back pass and then clattered into Amad trying to make amends for his error - Bruno Fernandes sending the City goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot with four minutes of the game remaining.
Lisandro Martinez then played a defence-splitting ball through for Amad, who followed a superb flick over the head of Ederson with a scuffed finish into the far corner, just evading the retreating Gvardiol in the process.
The defeat leaves City, who have now lost five of their last seven Premier League games, nine points adrift of table-toppers Liverpool.
