Manchester United fans can’t explain how their team, capable of starting 2-2 at Anfield against leaders Liverpool and eliminating Arsenal from the FA Cup on penalties at the Emirates, could come close to achieving a fresh victory over bottom club Southampton at their legendary stadium, which would be their fourth consecutive home defeat in the Premier League.
But when Amad Diallo, United’s new star At just 22 years old, he came out to save him again with an incredible hat trick in 12 minutes, between 82 and 94.
The Ivorian winger, who was determined to score in the return in the Etihad derby against City (1-2) and at Anfield (2-2), saved a Ruben Amorim breathing again. United, however, remain in a poor 14th place.
United, in mercy
United, no a Marcus Rashford that Amorim never called again, there was hope at the beginning of the game, but it didn’t last long. Southampton began to dominate, hold and hold the ball, to the general surprise, while Kamaldeen Souleman and Tyler Dibling They started driving the local defense crazy.
In this first half, United, who had no ideas in the development of the game, created only one clear chance a great internship by Rasmus Höjlundwhose back pass was sent wide by Alejandro Garnacho (20′).
Salvador Onana
However, on the other hand Andre Onana, substitute on Sunday in the cup feat, became the savior of his team with a series of excellent saves, especially in a double intervention before half-time of play.
The Cameroonian put in an incredible hand to block the shot of a double who made a quality arrival and, on the rebound, the United goalkeeper deflected with his body the point-blank shot from Mateus Fernandes.
Ugarte’s own goal
Before half-time, Onana could not stop Southampton from scoring. What’s worse, it was Manuel Ugarte’s own goal, which was hit in the back of the ball Dibling in a corner and it reached the net despite the touch of the local goalkeeper.
at break Amorim brings Antony for Kobbie Mainoo in an offensive change. United hit back and in the first minute the Brazilian winger had a chance with a shot that ended up in a corner.
Antony’s big mistake before the Diallo festival
Much clearer, very clear, exactly what Antony had at the time of the game when, in a pass of the death of Garnacho, incredibly failed his attempt to catch the ball, which was in the hands of Aaron Ramsdale.
Southampton held on well as United lacked continuity until the game entered the final stages. Ramsdale blocked an attempt by Bruno Fernandes to chip the ball and, with fans already dreading a fourth straight home defeat, Amad Diallo put the equipment back on his back.
In the 82nd minute, Diallo tackled Kyle Walker-Peters on the right and, although he neutralized his first shot, his second attempt went low.
In the 90th minute, Diallo found Christian Eriksen as an ally by turning the wall with a superb chipped pass that pushed Ramsdale into the net. And to top it all off, the gifted winger put the icing on the cake in an incredible hat trick by scoring into an empty net, taking advantage of the visitors’ gift when Taylor Harwood-Bellis miscontrolled a move from Ramsdale.
