slot games real moneyRuben Amorim's side seemed set for a fourth straight Premier League defeat at home after Manuel Ugarte's first-half own goal on Thursday.
However, Diallo equalised with just eight minutes remaining before volleying Christian Eriksen's lob past Aaron Ramsdale in the 90th minute.
The Ivorian winger added a late third to seal his match-winning treble after a Taylor Harwood-Bellis error, capping a fine week that saw Diallo extend his United contract until 2030.
"Maybe one of the best weeks in my life," Diallo said on TNT Sports. "I am very happy for this win. This team deserved to win this game so I am very happy."
Diallo became just the third player in Premier League history to score three times in the final 10 minutes of a game, joining two other United greats.

The 22-year-old Diallo may now be United's new hero, though he lavished praise on his team-mates for the comeback.
"We know we have quality players in this team," he added. "We need sometimes to be more hungry in the final third. We showed at the end we were the best team.
Last year, India won the title at home, making them the only team to bag four titles in the history of the tournament.
"I am so happy for the win today because this team deserves it. In football you have to believe.
"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."
