Ruben Dias reaction to Matheus Nunes madness highlights Man City weakness in Man United collapse

How?

That's the question for Manchester City again after this latest humiliation. How do you turn victory into defeat again and how have you managed to lose to probably the worst United team to visit the Etihad in the Premier League era?

It's now eight defeats in 11 for the team that has won the last four Premier League titles, an abysmal run of form that shows no sign of ending.
