Man Utd winger Amad hits 97th minute Ivory Coast winner

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo struck a winner for Ivory Coast in victory over Burkina Faso.

The 18-year-old made his senior international debut in March after his £37million move to Old Trafford in January.

And Diallo now has his first goal for his country, who were 1-0 down when he came off the bench in the 62nd minute. After Ibrahim Sangare's 72nd minute equaliser had pulled the hosts level, Diallo had the chance to win it with a free-kick in the dying stages.

The youngster duly obliged, curling a sensational left-footed effort into the top corner - leaving opposition goalkeeper Kouakou Herve Koffi with no chance.
