Perhaps Erik ten Hag was watching as he unwound following Manchester United’s win over Wolves. If not, he’ll find out soon enough.
Amad Diallo just can’t stop producing moments of wonder during a loan spell that could yet see Sunderland return to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old winger scored a final afternoon stunner as Sunderland won at Preston to sneak into the Championship play-offs.
And his sumptuous curling shot here sparked the turnaround against Luton that moved the Wembley arch into view as the Black Cats chase back-to-back promotions.
Trailing to Elijah Adebayo’s early strike and second-best to a streetwise Hatters side, Diallo’s magic tipped the balance and Trai Hume’s second-half header gave Sunderland a lead to take to Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.
