Dalot Sends Stern Message to Rashford: ‘Succeeding at this Club Requires Sacrifice’ After Surprising Man Utd Exclusion.

AMAD DIALLO left Manchester City stunned as he turned the derby around.

The swift winger earned a crucial penalty, which was expertly converted by Bruno Fernandes in the dying moments to bring the match level.

However, the highlight came when Amad deftly flicked the ball past a rushing Ederson and skillfully slotted 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 doesn’t inspire much confidence; he’s lacking in commanding his area, and as seen midweek in Plzen, his distribution can often aid the opposition.

Nevertheless, he faced minimal testing.

Lisandro Martinez – 7

Exhibited a more composed demeanor under Amorim than before, when he embraced his Ajax moniker ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’.

Delivered a brilliant through ball at the end to set up Amad’s decisive goal.

Harry Maguire – 8

Had a superb duel with Erling Haaland, emerging victorious.

The choice to reintroduce the former captain for such a crucial match proved to be a clever decision. He appears well-suited to play centrally in that back three.

Matthijs de Ligt 78′ – 7

Put in a solid display. Looked more comfortable playing alongside Maguire compared to other center-back partners.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Failed to time his jump properly, allowing Josko Gvardiol to head the ball for City’s opening goal. Did not contribute adequately in attack as a wing-back.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

Missed a vital chance after being set up by Hojlund, shooting wide.

However, when awarded a penalty, he showed great composure, sending Ederson the wrong way to equalize.

Manuel Ugarte – 7

Positioned himself well in front of the back four, effectively countering much of Phil Foden’s contributions for City.

Noussair Mazraoui 78′ – 8

Was the standout among the summer signings. Played as the right wing-back on this occasion and demonstrated his versatility in various roles. One of United’s top performers that day.

Mason Mount 13′ – 6

Looked visibly upset upon his early departure from the game. He has faced ongoing injury setbacks and has yet to discover consistent form since joining the club.

Amad Diallo 90′ – 9

Created the most unforgettable moment of his career thus far with a stunning derby winner. He made an excellent run to meet Martinez’s pass, lifted it over Ederson and although it was a slightly scuffed finish, it ended up on target.

Almost scored earlier with a flick header that was well saved by Ederson.

He also quickly reacted to Nunes’ back pass, which resulted in the penalty that led to United’s equalizer.

Rasmus Hojlund 78′ – 6

Most of his contributions involved a head-to-head clash with Walker and a minor fall while trying to win a penalty.

However, he made a brilliant pass to Fernandes, which should have led to an equalizer.

Subs

Kobbie Mainoo 13′ – 6

Performed well in a deeper role after coming on for Mount, providing support as Fernandes advanced.

Joshua Zirkzee 78′ – 6

Not a game-changer, but skillfully maintained possession in the dying moments.

Antony 78′ – 6

Attempted to make an impact but appeared to lack confidence due to limited playing opportunities.

Leny Yoro 78′ – 6

Continues to work towards full fitness after his injury earlier in the summer.

Victor Lindelof 90′ – 6

No chance to make a notable impact on the match.
