It was a day to forget for Matheus Nunes and Ederson as the Cityzens were beaten at home in the Manchester derby.
Manchester City‘s crisis deepened on Sunday as Pep Guardiola’s side shipped two late goals to go down 2-1 to rivals United and suffer a fifth Premier League defeat of the season.
A poor first half low on quality from both sides ended with City ahead after capitalising on United’s continuing set-piece woes. A short corner routine saw Kevin De Bruyne send in a deflected cross for Josko Gvardiol to head home at the far post.
The second half continued in the same vein with chances at a premium for both sides until Matheus Nunes gifted the Red Devils a way back into the match by conceding a penalty for a rash challenge on Amad Diallo.
Bruno Fernandes sent Ederson the wrong way from the spot, before Amad capitalised on some more poor defending to win it for the Red Devils and pile more misery on Guardiola’s struggling champions.
GOAL rates Manchester City's players from the Etihad Stadium…
Getty Images SportGoalkeeper & Defence
Ederson (4/10):
Back in the team but certainly did not cover himself in glory and won't want to see the second goal again.
Kyle Walker (5/10):
His most notable contribution was a risible attempt to get Rasmus Hojlund sent off in the first half. Embarrassing.
Josko Gvardiol (6/10):
Headed home the opener from De Bruyne's cross for his fourth Premier League goal of the season.
Ruben Dias (5/10):
Strong performance at the back but was caught out for the winner.
Matheus Nunes (4/10):
Badly at fault for the equaliser. His poor pass put City in trouble and then gave away the penalty with a rash challenge on Amad.

Bernardo Silva (6/10):
City's brightest midfielder but Guardiola will still want a lot more from the Portugal international. Decent enough but still looks a shadow of his former self.
Kevin De Bruyne (5/10):
Got the assist for Gvardiol's goal but it did need a hefty deflection to find the defender.

Jeremy Doku (4/10):
Flattered to deceive yet again and offered zero threat down the left flank.
Erling Haaland (4/10):
Looked frustrated throughout and was barely involved.
Phil Foden (5/10):
Went close with a deflected shot just before half-time but that was about as good as it got.
GettySubs & Manager
Mateo Kovacic (5/10):
Replaced De Bruyne but couldn't help see the game out.
Jack Grealish (5/10):
Given the last 15 minutes but couldn't provide a spark.
Pep Guardiola (4/10):
The nightmare continues. Looked tetchy throughout on the touchline and his mood will not be improved after seeing his team throw it away late on.
