Manchester United’s rising star, Amad Diallo, delivered a moment of magic in the FA Cup quarter-finals, securing a memorable victory against rivals Liverpool with a sublime goal.
However, the joy was tinged with disappointment as Diallo was shown a red card for removing his shirt in celebration, his second yellow card in quick succession. Reflecting on the moment after the game, Diallo admitted he had forgotten about his initial caution just minutes earlier.
In an interview with ITV, Diallo expressed his delight at the win, describing it as one of the team’s best performances of the season. Despite his setback, he emphasized the significance of securing victory against a formidable opponent like Liverpool.
United’s progression to the FA Cup semi-finals, where they are set to face Coventry City, marks a notable achievement. For Diallo, who has faced challenges with injuries and limited playing time this season, his goal against Liverpool showcased his potential.
The match was a rollercoaster, with United initially taking the lead through Scott McTominay, only for Liverpool to claw back with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah. Antony’s equalizer forced extra time, during which Harvey Elliott briefly put Liverpool ahead before Marcus Rashford levelled the scoreline again, setting the stage for Diallo’s decisive moment.
