Amad Diallo became the first Manchester United player to score a Premier League hat-trick since Cristiano Ronaldo almost three years ago. United's modern-day talisman didn't net the first of his late flurry until the dramatic contest with Southampton had ticked into the 82nd minute.

That's what makes Amad Diallo's emergence in recent weeks so special. Just days after signing a new contract with the Premier League giants through the summer of 2030, Amad's sensational hat-trick rescued the club from disaster as they beat Southampton by a 3-1 score.

Amad Diallo displayed an emphatic performance against Southampton to win the game for Manchester United. Diallo is the first united player to register a hattrick after Cristiano Ronaldo.
