Amad Diallo posts a message on social media following Sunderland’s victory over Southampton.
Amad Diallo responded to Sunderland’s stunning win over Southampton on social media.
Amad Diallo expressed his excitement after former team Sunderland beat Southampton 5-0 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Sunderland dominates Southampton.
The Black Cats have had a difficult summer, dealing with a lot of conjecture about several key players. They did lose one vital player, when Ross Stewart signed with the Saints on Deadline Day.
The club’s season has had a rough start, but Tony Mowbray’s team produced a great performance to beat one of the promotion favourites.
Jack Clarke put the hosts ahead inside a minute, and Pierre Ekwah scored again before the break to put the Black Cats in command.
Sunderland didn’t stop there in the second half, with Bradley Dack and a late Chris Rigg effort completing off an outstanding performance.
Amad Diallo reacts to Sunderland’s victory.
The manner of the victory pleased everyone associated with Sunderland, and it prompted a response from a former player, with Amad Diallo reacting to the victory on social media.
He kept it simple, replying to a tweet on the triumph with a mind-blown and starstruck emoji, signifying how impressed he was with Mowbray’s men’s performance.
The attacker spent the previous season on loan in the north-east, where he quickly became a fan favorite.
Diallo was a joy to watch with his dribbling ability and eye for a ball, as well as scoring 14 goals to help the team reach the play-offs.
As a result, it was a huge disappointment for Sunderland when Diallo returned to Manchester United in the summer, even if it was expected that they would want to check on Diallo in pre-season to see whether he could be part of Erik ten Hag’s squad moving ahead.
A return to the Stadium of Light had also been discussed, but Diallo’s injury during the Red Devils’ tour of America put an end to it, with Diallo still healing.
Diallo’s support will be appreciated by Sunderland fans.
Given his price tag at Old Trafford and pedigree, the Ivory Coast international arrived with a lot of hype, but he instantly became a firm popular on the terraces, and it’s evident that he enjoyed his time working with Mowbray.
Diallo’s time with Sunderland has truly kickstarted his career after a difficult loan period with Rangers, even if the injury in the summer was a setback he didn’t need.
It remains to be seen if he will be available for another loan in the New Year, but Sunderland will do all possible to make it happen if it is possible.
What happens next for Sunderland?
Mowbray will be overjoyed to have scored such a significant win heading into the international break, and, in fact, given how frenetic the window was, it’s arguably the appropriate moment for a rest.
They now have two weeks to work with the new recruits, and the team is aware that they must sustain the standards exhibited against Southampton in the coming months.
