Alejandro Garnacho led the counter-attack after Jurgen Klopp’s side gave the ball away from a corner.

He ran from his own-half and then passed to Diallo, who finished brilliantly into the bottom corner before the 21-year-old winger was given a second yellow card for taking his shirt off.

The goal sparked wild celebrations at Old Trafford that went as high as the commentary box.

BBC Manchester reporter Gaz Drinkwater has gone viral as the United supporter failed to control his emotions live on the radio.
