Thierry Henry says he was at 'home and screamed' after seeing a damning moment during Manchester City vs. Manchester United in a fascinating insight.
Man United came from behind to beat Man City 2-1 at the Etihad on Sunday.
Bruno Fernandes cancelled out Josko Gvardiol's opener before Amad Diallo struck in the 90th minute to hand his side a famous derby win.

On Monday Night Football, Arsenal legend Henry joined Jamie Carragher to break down last weekend's action.
And, in doing so, he analysed a moment from Jack Grealish, revealing he 'screamed' at home watching the sequence unfold.
Henry bemoaned Grealish for going back when he was in possession of the ball in the 86th minute when his team were ahead.
The clip shows the Man City forward retrieving the ball from a corner kick before passing it backwards.
On Sky Sports, Henry said: "I was at home and I screamed because that's not the Jack Grealish I saw at Villa."
He added: "All I'm trying to do in that moment... you take the ball and square him. You square him and see what's gonna happen... you don't just go the other way."
Henry isn't the only former player-turned-pundit to lament Grealish's style of play as former Premier League forward Troy Deeney claimed the 29-year-old is in danger of ruining his legacy.
"I think he is danger of having his legacy ruined," he said on talkSPORT.
"And what I mean by that is, I don't think you can say he hasn't lived up to his potential, because look at what he did at Villa and he did it for a sustained period of time."
Grealish, who joined Man City from Aston Villa for £100 million, has made 12 league appearances this season and has yet to open his goal account.
He played 36 games across all competitions last season, having played a big role in his side's treble-winning campaign in the 2022/23 term.
