Man Utd star covered in blood as clash with Brentford is delayed as fans joke ‘at least someone won’t remember this’
MANCHESTER UNITED’S clash at Brentford was delayed after Diogo Dalot was left splattered in blood following a “horrible” clash of heads.
But the Red Devils’ defender returned for an astonishing climax to STOPPAGE TIME in Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw.
Diogo Dalot shocked fans with this injury
The Man Utd defender was fine to continue despite the nasty injury
The clash was held up as it approached the eventful stoppage time
The Portuguese ace was treated on the ground in the final seconds of normal time.
But Dalot was ruled fine to continue after a lengthy hold-up and once he had his head bandaged.
One fan joked “At least someone won’t remember this s***show” while another called it a “horrible blow”.
A third saw a red gash in the back of the 25-year-old’ skull and posted: “DALOT IS BLEEDING FROM HIS HEAD WTFFF”.
But once it was clear Dalot was OK, viewers made jibes at him being lucky not to recall the game as United were outplayed in a dire display.
However, that too changed – because of what happened deep into time added on due to HIS injury.
Red Devils’ sub Mason Mount finished clinically in the 96th minute despite United barely threatening up to that point.
But two minutes later Ivan Toney cut the ball back for Kristoffer Ajer to fire an equally-impressive equaliser.
And when the final whistle went after 14 minutes of stoppage time United remained sixth and Brentford 15th.
Fans promptly pointed out Dalot’s outstanding overall performance being one of the few consolations for United.
Andafter “Statman Dave” shared his staggering stats for the game – includign “100% tackles own” – a United supporter replied: “Dalot has been awesome the whole season… Picked up well!”
