Manchester united make an astonishing comeback to deny Manchester City title win

Manchester United created a motivating second-half comeback to delay Manchester City's Premier League title coronation.

Vincent Kompany sent the city faithful wild twenty five minutes into proceedings at the Etihad. The skipper all too simply lost Manchester United defender Chris Smalling to meet Leroy Sane's corner with a bullet header to place his side in the driving seat.

City were celebrating once more 5 minutes later as Ilkay Gundogan scored a beautiful second goal. Criticised for his performance as Liverpool ran riot on Wednesday, the FRGinternational followed an excellent swivel with a coffee finish past David Delaware Gea.

United were an embarrassment throughout a primary half during which they did not muster so much as an attempt. Pogba was as censurable as anyone in their meek opening period, however at intervals ten minutes of the restart he had sensationally swung the game on its head.

The France international tucked away nicely at the tip of United's 1st good team move within the 53rd minute before jumping high to go past Ederson and silence a shockedEithad.

City were wanting as shambolic as United did within the first half and also the guests completed a stimulating turnaround within the 69th minute. Chris Smalling was guilty of losing Kompany for the opening goal, however became the hero by firing United ahead.

Guardiola quickly turned to Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero in a bid to vary things once more but currently travel to city district to face Tottenham once more needing 3 points to win the title
