Manchester United’s players are on a real high after consigning rivals City to another defeat.
A dramatic late goal from Amad Diallo gave the Red Devils a dramatic 2-1 victory, with the goal coming shortly after an equaliser from Bruno Fernandes.
If there is one man who knows what it is like to score a late winning goal away at City, it is Paul Scholes, who netted a famous header at The Etihad in 2010.
Scholes had an instant reaction to Amad’s late strike – but we had to edit the expletive out…
Paul Scholes reaction
Paul Scholes is still passionate about Manchester United – win or lose, and this time he was overjoyed to be celebrating a victory.
Scholes posted on Instagram stories after Manchester United’s late goal, writing: “Oh my _____ing god!!!!!!!”
Manchester United deserved the win
Paul Scholes’ reaction was exactly how Manchester United fans felt – absolutely blown away by Amad’s wonderstrike.
It was a special goal, the type you would clap and applaud on the training ground.
To do it against rivals Manchester City, away from home, in the last minute, is a sign of the winger’s incredible temperament.
United have a poor record at The Etihad, losing 3-1 at the stadium last season and 6-3 the year prior.
The victory moves United to within five points of City in the Premier League table, even though we remain stuck in 13th place.
Next up is a Carabao Cup quarter-final away against Tottenham Hotspur.
