Amad Diallo scored a sensational 12-minute hat-trick as Manchester United roared back to beat Premier League basement club Southampton 3-1 on Thursday, narrowly avoiding a humiliating fourth straight home defeat.
The Ivory Coast international - Uniteds standout player this season - levelled in the 82nd minute before putting the hosts ahead in the dying seconds of the 90 minutes.
He was still not done, capitalising on an error from Taylor Harwood-Bellis to grab a third in stoppage time, giving the scoreline a skewed look.
It was cruel luck on a Saints side battling to avoid finishing the season as the worst side in Premier League history, still with just one win to their name.
Ivan Jurics men had deservedly taken the lead through a Manuel Ugarte own goal towards the end of the first half and had numerous chances to extend their lead.
