But the game was turned round in dramatic fashion as Bruno Fernandes leveled from the penalty spot and Diallo sealed victory for United \u2014 prompting head coach Ruben Amorim to declare \u201csomething magic happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very tough match but we believe until the end. We managed to score. We needed that win. It was important for us and for our fans,\u201d Amorim said.<\/p>\n<p>City fans jeered at the final whistle as their once dominant team\u2019s woeful run of form extended to one win and eight losses in 11 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m the boss, I\u2019m the manager and I\u2019m not good enough. It\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d Guardiola said.<\/p>\n<p>It was a first derby victory for new United head coach Ruben Amorim, who led Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 win against City in one of his last games in charge of the Portuguese club in November.<\/p>\n<p>But for a long time it looked like being a third-straight league loss for United after Josko Gvardiol\u2019s headed goal in the 36th.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes was guilty of missing the target when through on goal in the second half and United struggled to create chances against a City team that rarely looked like adding to its lead.<\/p>\n<p>But in a dramatic end to the match, Diallo raced after an underhit backpass from Matheus Nunes. Nunes then brought down the United forward in the box and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the penalty spot.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes made no mistake this time \u2014 sending Ederson the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, Diallo ran onto a long pass from Lisandro Martinez, flicked the ball high and past Ederson before rolling it into the net from a tight angle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot to do but it was massive for our fans,\u201d Amorim said.<\/p>\n<p>United is 13th and five points behind fifth-place City, which has seen its title defense unravel during its losing run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a big club and in a big club when you lose eight in 10 (11) something wrong is happening,\u201d Guardiola said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chelsea challenge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, in second, closed the gap on Liverpool to two points after a 2-1 win against Brentford.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s now seven straight wins in all competitions for Enzo Maresca\u2019s team, which is unbeaten in 10. It\u2019s last league defeat was in October \u2014 a 2-1 loss to Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Cucurella scored in the 43rd and Nicolas Jackson made it 2-0 in the 80th for his ninth goal of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Mbeumo scored for Brentford in the 90th and Cucurella was sent off for a second yellow card in added time.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea is four points ahead of third-place Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p><b>Martin fired<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Southampton fired manager Russell Martin after being routed 5-0 by Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>Last-place Southampton is nine points from safety and appears to be heading straight back to the second tier after earning promotion to the top flight last season.<\/p>\n<p>The decision came on the same day as another relegation-threatened team, Wolverhampton, fired head coach Gary O\u2019Neil. Wolverhampton is second to last in 19th.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs scored all five goals against Southampton before halftime at St Mary&#8217;s Stadium, with James Maddison getting two. Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Sarr also scored.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham moved up to 10th and is five points off the Champions League places.<\/p>\n<p>Sarr double<\/p>\n<p>Ismaila Sarr scored twice as Crystal Palace beat Brighton 3-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The forward also provided an assist for Trevoh Chalobah in the win at the Amex Stadium, which lifted Palace four points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton is ninth and without a win in four matches.<\/p>\n<p>Palace went ahead in the 27th minute through Chalobah, and Sarr doubled the lead for the visitors in the 33rd.<\/p>\n<p>Sarr scored his second in the 82nd before Marc Guehi\u2019s own-goal pulled one back for Brighton. It was Guehi\u2019s second own-goal in his last four games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
