And the attacker's last-gasp strike had Gary Neville in raptures on commentary.

As the ball trickled into the goal for the winner, Neville was heard on Sky Sports co-commentary alongside Peter Drury giving another priceless reaction.

It was a throwback to his legendary commentary clip when Fernando Torres sent Chelsea into the Champions League final with a shock goal against Barcelona in 2012.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "That Gary Neville 'OOOOOOHHHHHH WOAHHHHHHHHH' has got to be one for the history books."

A second said: "Fairs, although I still rate the one he did for Fernando Torres' goal against Barcelona."

A third said: "One of @GNev2’s very best non-verbal warblings."

Another said: "Top 2 Neville commentary moments and it’s not 2."

A fifth added: "I need a compilation of all of Gary’s 'OOOOOOOHHHH WOOOAHHH'."

Speaking in the Sky Sports studio after the game, Neville was full of praise for Ruben Amorim's bold choice to completely leave out Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Neville said: "I don't know about their long-term future.

Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim says he has no disciplinary issues with Rashford and Garnacho

"But what is really clear is that [Amorim] mentioned engaging with team-mates, he's mentioned standards.

"He's giving us clues, in fact, emphatic clues, about the last few days that they're moping and not doing their bit around the training ground.

"It's standards in training and he's thought 'no, I'm not having it, I'm not accepting it'. Good on him.

"For far too long we've seen players mope around that pitch and still continue to get a game or on the bench.

"No. It's got to be non-negotiable. If you don't give your all in your job, you're gone, you're out. That's it."

Rashford shared a picture of him celebrating the win from home to Instagram.

On his and Garnacho's absence, Amorim explained the pair were left out due to simple selection and had trained well on Sunday morning.

Elsewhere, Kyle Walker was labelled "embarrassing" by Roy Keane after flopping to the floor when butting heads with Rasmus Hojlund, which came after he had fouled the United forward.

The result lifted the Red Devils to 11th in the table, while City fell outside of the top four with Pep Guardiola's side now registering just one win in their last 11.

Man Utd player ratings vs Man City as sensational Amad Diallo turns derby on its head

AMAD DIALLO left Manchester City stunned as he turned the derby on its head.

The flying winger won a penalty, converted by Bruno Fernandes, in the dying embers to level it up.

But the best was yet to come as Amad flicked past an onrushing Ederson before expertly slotting in a dramatic winner from a tight angle deep into injury time.

Here’s how SunSport's Neil Custis rated the Man Utd players...

Andre Onana - 6

He just does not fill you with confidence. Does not command his area and as we found out midweek in Plzen, his distribution from the back is a major plus for the opposition.

Wasn’t tested that much however.

Lisandro Martinez - 7

Looking a calmer presence under Amorim than he did before when he seemed to want to live up to his nickname from his Ajax days of ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’.

Great through ball at the end to pick out Amad’s run for the winner.

Harry Maguire - 8

Had a great battle with Erling Haaland which the United man won.

The right call to bring the former captain in for such a big game. Looks like he suits the position in the centre of that back three.

Matthijs de Ligt 78' - 7

A decent enough performance. Looked more comfortable alongside Maguire than other centre-back partners.

Diogo Dalot - 5

Mistimed his jump to be beaten to the ball by Josko Gvardiol for the City opener. Did not create enough going forward from his wing-back role.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

Missed a big chance after being put through by Hojlund and clipping the ball wide.

But when the moment comes from the penalty spot he is a cool head in the hottest of atmospheres sending Ederson the wrong way to equalise

Manuel Ugarte - 7

Sat in front of the back four and negated much of what Phil Foden was trying to do for the home side.

Noussair Mazraoui 78' - 8

The best of the summer buys. Used as the right wing back on this occasion and is able to adjust to whatever is asked of him. One of United’s bets performers on the day.

Mason Mount 13' - 6

Looked very close to tears when he had to come off after early in the game. He is just getting no luck whatsoever with injuries and has not had a decent run since joining the club.

Amad Diallo 90' – 9

The greatest moment of his career so far with a memorable derby winner. A brilliant run first of all to meet Martinez pass, he then clipped the ball past Edersonn and while it was a scuffed finish he got it on target.

Had almost grabbed an equaliser with a flick header before that which was well saved by Ederson.

Then was alert to Nunes back pass to win the penalty that did lead to United drawing level.

Rasmus Hojlund 78' - 6

Most we saw of him was a head to head confrontation with Walker when the City player slumped to the ground and a little fall of his own when he tried to win a pen.

But then he provided a great through ball for Fernandes which should have brought the equaliser.

Subs

Kobbie Mainoo 13' - 6

Did a solid job as he came on ina deeper role than Mount and Fernandes moved forward

Joshua Zrikzee 78' - 6

Not the man who is going to come on and change a game, but he did well to hold onto possession in the closing seconds.

Antony 78' - 6

Came on to try and make a difference but is lacking the confidence which a lack of starts brings.

Leny Yoro 78' - 6

Continues to ease himself back to full fitness after that summer injury.

Victor Lindelof 90' - 6

No time to have any influence on the game.
