Manchester, England – Manchester United pulled off a dramatic 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton on Sunday, thanks to a sensational hat-trick from 23-year-old Amad Diallo. The win ended United's three-match losing streak at Old Trafford.
Trailing 1-0 to the league's bottom side, United faced the prospect of suffering their worst home start to a top-flight season since 1930. However, Diallo's introduction changed the game. The Ivorian forward netted his first in the 82nd minute, followed by two more in quick succession to complete his hat-trick. His performance was reminiscent of Wayne Rooney's 2006 hat-trick, making Diallo the second-youngest United player to score three goals in a Premier League match.
Diallo's impressive form this season continued with his 12th goal involvement (six goals, six assists) in the league. "I'm delighted to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford," Diallo said. "I'll keep working hard to help the team climb the table."
