Man United 3-1 Southampton (January 16, 2025) Match Analysis

On By Littum

Three late goals from Amad Diallo pulled a below-par Manchester United to a 3-1 comeback win over Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday.

United would have fancied their chances of getting back to winning ways against bottom-of-the-table Southampton, but the hosts were second-best from the start, deservedly falling behind to a Manuel Ugarte own goal just before the break.

Staring down the barrel of another home defeat, United stepped up after the break and got back level through Diallo eight minutes from time before the Ivorian completed the turnaround in the 90th minute.

A third at the break to complete his hat-trick certainly flattered United, who climbed to 12th amid another disappointing season, while Southampton remain bottom with six points.
