Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United star is 'unstoppable' after Man City derby win

Man Utd came from behind to defeat Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Bruno Fernandes piled the praise on Amad Diallo after he played a pivotal role in Manchester United's incredible comeback win over Man City.

City were on course to record an important derby win when United scored twice in the space of 54 seconds to win the game at the death and pile more misery on Pep Guardiola.

Amad won United a penalty in the 88th minute of the match when he capitalised on a stay pass from Matheus Nunes and was fouled in the box and Bruno Fernandes sent Ederson the wrong way from the spot to set-up a dramatic finale. It took just 54 seconds before United had another when Amad latched onto an incredible long ball from Lisandro Martinez and rounded the onrushing Ederson to squeeze in a dramatic winning goal.

Speaking after the win, Fernandes piled the praise on Amad after he proved to be the matchwinner once again for his side: "He has been doing well, he has been doing great things and there is a still a lot to come from him.

"He showed again today he is always alive. That is why he gets the penalty, why he gets the goal. He has been brilliant. When he is like this he is unstoppable. I just want him to keep working, that is what he has been doing. It is great what he did today but I am sure he can do this every week. We want this week in, week out. He is now getting his chances, deservedly."
