Amad Diallo (22) is Flashscore's Premier League Player of the Week after netting a stunning late hat-trick to help Manchester United earn a 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton.

With United 1-0 down beyond 80 minutes, the 22-year-old stepped up to the plate and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck in just 12 second-half minutes to rescue Ruben Amorim's side.

His first game with a bit of perseverance after driving into the box and finishing at the second attempt and his second – in the 90th minute – was well-taken after a lovely exchange with Christian Eriksen.

Amad completed his wonderful hat-trick a few minutes later after seizing on a defensive lapse from Southampton to cap off a determined and mature display.

United and Amad will be hoping for more of the same on Sunday when they welcome Brighton to Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Chances are you’re about to lose.
