2-3 against Nottingham, 0-3 against Bournemouth and 0-2 against Newcastle.

Against bottom-placed Southampton, the fans hoped that the trend at home on Old Trafford would turn.

Instead, it looked for a long time like the losing trend would continue.

Manchester United couldn't get the game to work and late in the first half, the home team fell behind when Manuel Ugarte steered the ball into his own goal.

Then Amad Diallo stepped forward.

The 22-year-old equalized in the 82nd minute – and then showed enormous playing joy.

In the first minute of stoppage time, he made it 2-1 and then kept going when the guests messed up in defense, which meant that he completed his hat-trick in the 94th minute.

Amad Diallo's goal success thus put an end to Manchester United's gloomy home trend and ensured that new coach Rúben Amorim got his third league win since moving from Portuguese Sporting Lisbon.
