In the early morning of January 17 (Vietnam time), Man United welcomed the bottom team Southampton in round 21 of the Premier League. Despite playing at home, the Red Devils could not create enough pressure in the first half.
In the 43rd minute, Tyler Dibling headed the ball close to the goal and the ball unfortunately hit Manuel Ugarte, changing the course, surprising Andre Onana.
Antony and Bruno Fernandes almost had an opportunity to equalize in the second half but could not take advantage. The home team's attack was deadlocked against the Saints' crowded defense, despite completely controlling the game.
With only 10 minutes left in the match, Amad's brilliance helped the Red Devils come back. In the 82nd minute, Amad overcame the Southampton goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation after collaborating with Joshua Zirkzee. The 22-year-old's left-footed volley in the 90th minute put Man United in an emotional lead.
In the extra minutes, Harwood-Bellis made a mistake when Amad stole the ball, scoring the first hat-trick of his professional career.
This was also Man United's first hat-trick since Cristiano Ronaldo in the 3-2 victory over Norwich City in April 2022.
This result took United up to 12th place, while Southampton were still 10 points behind the safe zone at the bottom of the rankings.
