Manchester United forward Amad Diallo’s match-winning strike against Liverpool in the quarterfinals has been voted as the FA Cup Goal of the Season.
The Ivory Coast international, who came on as a substitute in the encounter at Old Trafford in March, scored in the last minute of extra time to put United 4-3 up and send them through to the semifinals.
The 21-year-old, who was eventually sent off after taking off his short during the celebrations, got a pass from Alejandro Garnacho after a late breakaway before slotting the ball past Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
A moment of magic 🪄

The former Atalanta man initially found playing time tough to come by under Erik Ten Hag in the early parts of the season, but he eventually found his way back into the team, finishing with two goals and one assist in 12 matches, including one goal in three FA Cup appearances.
Diallo won his first title with United since he joined the Manchester club in January 2021, as the Red Devils recorded FA Cup success for the 13th time in club history following a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the final at Wembley Stadium on May 25.
