In a jaw-dropping Premier League showdown, Manchester United pulled off a miracle comeback against Southampton thanks to Amad Diallo’s historic hat-trick! Trailing 1-0 after a shaky first half, the Red Devils seemed destined for another home defeat—until the Ivorian star flipped the script in the final minutes.
Diallo’s 82nd-minute equalizer sparked the turnaround, followed by a silky 90th-minute winner and a stoppage-time third goal to seal the 3-1 victory. At 22, he’s now the second-youngest player to score a Premier League hat-trick for United, after Wayne Rooney.
“You’ve *got* to believe,” Diallo told TNT Sports post-match. “We showed our hunger when it mattered.”
Southampton, still rooted to the bottom of the table, crumbled under United’s late surge. While goalkeeper Andre Onana’s first-half heroics kept the hosts alive, Diallo’s magic stole the spotlight.
The win lifts United to 12th place, but fans will be buzzing about Diallo’s breakout moment. As for Saints? The relegation battle just got tougher.
