Manchester United secured three points from a hard-fought win over Southampton to find themselves back in the top four.
Manchester United showcased the kind of spirit they have built their legacy on during Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Southampton, according to Diogo Dalot.
The Red Devils recorded a key win to move back above Arsenal into the Champions League spots, while they now trail third-place Tottenham by only three points after Spurs failed to win any of their last three games.
United did not have it easy however, in a see-saw encounter that saw them initially fall behind to a spectacular Yan Valery strike before equalising through Andreas Pereira’s top-right corner effort.
Dalot gave a good performance as a second-half replacement for the injured Alexis Sanchez – felt it was a quintessential United display.
“This is Man United. When you’re 1-0 down, we know the crowd always pushes for us and we wanted to win it.
“I think the badge speaks for itself when we talk about comebacks, desire and attitude, and for us it was just another game that we gave everything in.
“It was like a two-second punch in the stomach when we conceded that second goal, it was a good goal too, which David [de Gea] had no chance with.
“But we knew we had maybe 10 minutes more and, like I said, it’s Man United and we wanted to win it, and Rom got us the other goal.
