Kamaldeen Sulemana showcased his revitalized form under new manager Ivan Juric by completing his first full Premier League match of the season in Southampton’s clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Ghanaian international led the line as Southampton’s main striker, delivering an impressive performance. His pace and skill caused constant trouble for United’s defense, particularly for French center-back Lenny Yoro. Sulemana’s electrifying runs and flair pushed United’s backline to retreat at crucial moments.
Southampton, struggling to find consistency in their return to the Premier League, managed to take the lead just before halftime. The breakthrough came when United’s Manuel Ugarte inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, handing the Saints a 1-0 advantage.
For much of the game, Southampton held firm against the Red Devils’ attacks. However, their resistance crumbled in the final minutes when Ivorian winger Amad Diallo stole the spotlight with a stunning late display. Diallo equalized in the 82nd minute, then put United ahead in the 90th minute, and completed his remarkable hat-trick just two minutes later.
The dramatic turnaround secured a vital victory for Manchester United, leaving Southampton to reflect on what could have been.
