Last night saw a ridiculous comeback at Old Trafford as Manchester United fought to beat Lyon 5-4 in the second leg of the Europa League Quarter-Finals.
Throughout the first half, United dominated the game, with Manuel Ugarte opening the scoring in the 11th minute, Bruno Fernandes hitting the crossbar and Diogo Dalot grabbing a second goal on the brink of half time.
However, the tide changed in the second half with goals from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagiafico in the space of seven minutes as the half was coming to a close.
Lyon went on in extra time to score two more goals, completely unanswered before United fought back hard.
In the final seven minutes of extra time, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire all scored to grab a much-needed win, marching on to face Athletic Club in the Semi-Final.

Issues for away fans in both Manchester United v Lyon fixtures
Following the game, Lyon have taken to X to release a statement about the occasion at Old Trafford with regards to their away fans.
The post which links to an online survey, reads: ” Dear Supporters, Olympique Lyonnais sincerely thanks you for coming in such numbers to Manchester.
“However, we regret the conditions of access to Old Trafford which may have put you in danger.
“United by your side, we will carry your voice and we invite you to send us your testimonies via the following form.”
Whilst it’s not confirmed what “conditions of access” or “danger” the post is referring to, the French club are keen to hear from their fans who attended the game.
In the reverse fixture, United fans were unfortunately on the receiving end of a mandatory one-hour holdback, with tear gas being used to prevent access to the toilets.
It’s understood that the Manchester United Supporters Trust are looking at taking legal action against the French police for their treatment of the fans.
