Amadou Diallo scored his second goal in as many matches for the under-23 side in a dominant win over Manchester City.

West Ham’s under-23 outfit thrashed Manchester City away from home in the Premier League 2.

Dan Kemp grabbed a brace and goals from Joe Powell, Sean Adarkwa and Diallo confirmed a dominant victory.

Diallo’s rise to stardom is remarkable considering his age. The 15-year-old is playing against players who will be eight years his senior but he is still standing out.

The quick and skilful winger, who can also play up front, has played twice for West Ham’s under-23 side despite his tender years.

But the opportunity has not daunted him and he has grabbed a goal in both of his outings.

After scoring against Brighton’s youth team at the end of last year, Diallo has followed that up with a well-taken strike against Man City.

And West Ham fans are understandably holding high hopes for the talented teenager’s future after his breakthrough in the under-23 team.

Below are several tweets from West Ham fans excitedly discussing just how good Diallo can be.
