Manchester United supporters couldn't help but taunt Manchester City during the post-match lock-in after Sunday's 2-1 derby win.

City took the lead in the first half when Josko Gvardiol connected with Kevin de Bruyne's deflected cross and headed past Andre Onana.

But United - without Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, both left out of the squad by Ruben Amorim - hit back late in the second half to secure a famous win over their bitter city rivals thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad.

The Ivory Coast international was involved in both goals, first winning the penalty - which was converted by Fernandes - before he capitalised on a sloppy bit of defending by the hosts to round Ederson and fire into an empty net.

The win, Amorim's second in the Premier League, moved United to within six points of the Champions League places.

For City, meanwhile, the defeat all but signalled the end of their Premier League title hopes as they now trail league leaders Liverpool - who have a game in hand - by nine points.

And shortly after the full-time whistle sounded out, the United fans still in position at the Etihad couldn't resist goading City further by singing a chant referencing their ongoing legal case with the Premier League, allegations which have been strenuously denied by the club.

Meanwhile, speaking to Sky Sports, Fernandes lauded the effort of United's match-winner Amad: "He has been doing well, he has been doing great things and I think there is a still a lot to come from him because we really believe in his qualities and we know what he is capable of doing," said the United captain.

"He showed it again today. He is always alive and this is why he gets the penalty, why he gets the goal. He has been brilliant. We need him at this level because when he is like this he is unstoppable."
