Late Diallo hat-trick fires Man Utd to epic win
Amad Diallo produced a remarkable late hat-trick as Manchester United came from behind to beat struggling Southampton 3-1.
United seemed destined for a fourth straight Premier League home defeat after Manuel Ugarte turned Tyler Dibling's flick-on past Andre Onana on the stroke of half-time.
However, Diallo – who levelled late on in United's 2-2 draw with Liverpool last time out in the league – started the comeback when steering under Aaron Ramsdale with eight minutes remaining.
Diallo edged United ahead with another goal in the 90th minute when volleying from Christian Eriksen's neat dink, before the winger profited from Taylor Harwood-Bellis' error to roll into an empty net four minutes later.
Those heroics from United's 22 year-old saw Ruben Amorim avoid a humiliating defeat to the league's bottom side, while Diallo spared the blushes of Antony after his team-mate's inexplicable miss on the hour from Alejandro Garnacho's left-sided cross.
The victory lifted United to 12th in the table, while Southampton – which still has just one win across the entire 2024-2025 campaign – remains 10 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the league.
