However, Amad Diallo‘s stunning late hat-trick turned the game on its head to hand Ruben Amorim’s side victory.

The winger’s heroics sparked jubilant scenes from his team-mates including Zirkzee.

The forward could be seen grabbing his crouch with his right hand while the team celebrated by the corner flag.
