Ruben Amorim's Sporting CP added to Manchester City's misery as Pep Guardiola's side fell to their third consecutive defeat
It was the perfect night for incoming manager Ruben Amorim after the historic result against Manchester United's rivals across the road - Manchester City.
Speaking after the match, Pep Guardiola said: "Congratulations, best wishes to Sporting. I have nothing to add. When you lose 4-1 you can only congratulate the opponent. We could have closed the game in the first half and in the third minute of the second half it was 3-1. Jose Manuel Delgado of A Bola writes: "Sixty years after beating Manchester United 5-0, Sporting made history again in Alvalade, by beating Manchester City on a magical night, in which Amorim's pragmatism got the better of Guardiola. Let's start with the end, and with the Olympic lap that marked Rúben Amorim's farewell to Alvalade.
