Diogo Dalot was the player who ignited the Manchester United comeback. His entry into the pitch was the shot of energy that his team desperately needed. He came on to replace Alexis Sanchez after the Chilean picked up an injury and instantly got into the thick of things.

With his introduction, Manchester United changed to a back three and Dalot took a position as a wing back. His immediate task was to charge up the right-hand side of the field and this the Portuguese did with great precision. His speed and control on the ball meant that he almost looked like an attacking player on the field and his qualities on the counter created the first goal for United.

After a fine run down the right, Dalot passed the ball to Pereira as United piled the bodies forward in search of a goal. The Brazilian scored the equalizer and it initiates the comeback process. Dalot was a constant threat down the right and was instrumental as United secured the comeback win.
