It was cruel luck on a Saints side battling to avoid finishing the season as the worst side in Premier League history, still with just one win to their name.Ivan Juric's men had deservedly taken the lead through a Manuel Ugarte own goal towards the end of the first half and had numerous chances to extend their lead.
"He pushes the other team into the final third -- that is really important," he said."We didn't have a good game, but at this moment, winning is the most important thing."United secured a morale-boosting FA Cup win at Arsenal on Sunday, which followed a battling 2-2 draw at league leaders Liverpool. Despite their slow start, the home side should have been ahead in the 20th minute following a flowing move down the left but Alejandro Garnacho skewed horribly wide after being found by Rasmus Hojlund.Onana produced a brilliant double save to deny Tyler Dibling with an outstretched hand before quickly getting up to save from Mateus Fernandes from point-blank range.
Ghana winger Sulemana, giving Leny Yoro a torrid time on right side of United's defence, burst through again, only to be denied by a block from the scrambling Matthijs de Ligt. Kyle Walker-Peters blocked Diallo's first effort but the ball came straight back to the Ivorian, who made no mistake the second time around, blasting past Aaron Ramsdale.Eight minutes later he got on the end of a cute dinked return pass from substitute Christian Eriksen before completing his hat-trick deep into stoppage time.
