Amad Diallo’s Southampton hat-trick puts him only second to Wayne Rooney in brilliant stat
Rooney’s first hat-trick for United came on his debut, on October 28, 2004, in a 4-0 victory against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League. However, his first Premier League hat-trick came two years later, on October 28, 2006, during Manchester United’s 4-0 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.
“One of the best weeks of my life”, says Amad Diallo
“In football you have to believe,” he told TNT Sports after the contest. “We believed until the end and are very happy to win this game. We drew with Arsenal and Liverpool so the confidence was there. We are very happy.
“[This is] one of the best weeks in my life. I am very happy for this win. This team deserved to win this game so I am very happy.”
The youngster continued: “We know we have quality players in this team. We need sometimes to be more hungry in the final third. Today we showed at the end we were the best team. I am so happy for the win today because this team deserves it.
“I am ready to play every position where the manager likes to put me. I am ready to fight for this club. I am so happy to play where the manager wants me to play and I am so happy to score a hat-trick.”
