'Special player' - Manchester United fans send Amad Diallo message after outstanding Sunderland performance

Amad Diallo continued his fine form for Sunderland on Saturday evening with two goals to help the Black Cats draw 4-4 with Hull City.

The United loanee starred in a dramatic game at the Stadium of Light as Tony Mowbray's side went from 3-2 down to 4-3 up before conceding an injury-time penalty. Hull took an early lead before Joe Gelhardt and then Diallo scored in less than a minute, but two goals either side of half-time saw the away side reassert their lead.

Diallo then struck home a penalty to level the score at 3-3 before initiating the counter-attack that saw Jack Clarke net the fourth. It was a brilliant return to the starting line-up for the 20-year-old, who was benched in last weekend's draw with Burnley and has struggled with small injuries in recent weeks.
