Amad Diallo inspires Man United to sensational comeback victory over Man City
Amad Diallo forced the equaliser and scored the winner to help Manchester United beat their crosstown rivals.
While he was initially optimistic earlier in the abysmal run, the Spaniard is increasingly resigned to the likelihood they would not return to their typically high levels this season.
What Guardiola said
Manchester City conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 in the Manchester derby earlier today after a period of capitulation late in the game that has happened on more than one occasion this season.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola said, “This year it happens many times, unfortunately. We gave away many things. We are not nice in the way we played.”

“Before it's so fluid, now we're struggling for different reasons. A lot of defeats. We put everything in and the game was almost closed. They had more possession first half but nothing special. We give away two goals, very difficult.
"It is what it is. What can I say? We can not blame this player or that one, it's not that. It's the season, a tough season.
"We didn't play our best. We are not our best and we struggle a bit. Now we don't play for the week.
"Previously we didn't lose that many in two seasons. Now we've done it in eight games. You have to defend. We have lost a lot of games. It's difficult. We have to move on and try to find the solution and try to win games.
"I think in nine years it wasn't the toughest defeat. Champions League defeats harder. But at the moment, we need results to lift our mood. It's getting worse and worse. I have to find the solution. So far I didn't find it and this is the truth.”
