Amad strikes late to rescue Manchester United

Despite falling behind on the half-hour mark to a Manuel Ugarte own goal, Manchester United rallied from a goal down to secure a much needed win against the bottom side in the Premier League.

The Red Devils battled for an opening for much of the game and just when it looked like they would succumb to a shock loss at home to Southampton, Diallo struck three times, all after the 80th minute mark to ensure that all three points stayed at the Theatre of Dreams.

Goals in the 82nd, 90th, and 94th minutes helped Amad register his first career hat-trick and helped Manchester United secure their first league win of the new year in dramatic fashion.
