Amad Diallo’s stunning late hat-trick denied Joe Aribo and Paul Onuachu a famous win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday, Sports247 reports.
A ten minute magic moment for Amad turned what seemed to be a humiliating defeat for Manchester United into a thrilling victory over Southampton in the English Premier League match played at Old Trafford.
Joe Aribo started the match for Southampton, and he posted a solid 73 minutes shift before he was subbed off with Southampton in total dominance and have
Manuel Ugarte own goal to show for their effort on the night.
Manchester United appeared to be heading for a fourth consecutive top-flight home defeat for the first time since 1930 as they laboured badly trying to overcome a Southampton side who had won just once all season.
But Southampton FC collapse coincided with the exit of Aribo with Amad Diallo justifying why he signed a new signing a new five-and-a-half-year contract, for United.
The Ivorian, moved into an attacking role from the wing-back position he started the contest in, took the game by the scruff of the neck, levelling nine minutes from time.
He surged into the box, profited from a fortunate break of the ball and drove the rebound past Aaron Ramsdale.
A minute into stoppage time, Diallo kept running on to Christian Eriksen’s chipped return pass before beating Ramsdale with a first-time effort.
And he capitalised when Taylor Harwood-Bellis failed to control Ramsdale’s pass, nipping the ball away from the former Manchester City defender and passing the ball into an empty net to complete his first senior hat-trick.
“He did a great job. But he has a lot to improve,” head coach Ruben Amorim said after the game. “He has the same responsibility as every player who plays for Manchester United.”
“He is in a great moment and he is having a very good season.” Amorim told the press after the match.
Diallo, demonstrated once again that he is the best Manchester United player since the arrival of Amorim at Old Trafford.
Paul Onuachu, was brought on in the 83rd minute to replace Lesley Ugochukwu in the 83rd minute and barely had any impact in the game as Southampton FC, under new coach Ivan Juric lost another game.
