Watch moment ex-Rangers ace Diallo is 'pushed by fan' in Sunderland play-off loss

This is the moment former Rangers winger Amad Diallo was allegedly pushed by a fan.

The Manchester United youngster is currently on loan at Sunderland.

And in last night's Championship play-off semi-final defeat to Luton, Diallo appeared to be confronted by rival supporters.

Diallo, 20, was heading to collect the ball for a throw-in when the alleged incident occurred.

Footage shared on social media appears to show supporters shouting at Diallo before one supporter pushes the player in the back.

Another fan snatched the ball from the pitch as Diallo looked to pick it up before the winger appeared to be shoved.

However, Diallo remained composed as he turned away from the supporters and appealed to the referee over the ball being withheld.

Sunderland had been 2-1 ahead on aggregate after the first leg in the play-offs but slipped to a 2-0 loss to see Tony Mowbray's side miss out on a play-off final spot.

Diallo spent the second half of last season on loan at Rangers from United. He played 13 times scoring three goals in his short stint at Ibrox.

However, Diallo has been much more impressive during his time at Sunderland. He has been a key player under Mowbray playing 42 matches and scoring 16 times this term.
