Manchester United Stages Dramatic Comeback to Advance in Europa League

Harry Maguire scores late winner as Manchester United defeats Lyon 5-4 in thrilling match, securing a semi-final spot against Athletic Bilbao
Manchester United has advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League after a stunning comeback victory over Lyon at Old Trafford.

The match ended 5-4 in favour of Manchester United, with the aggregate score standing at 7-6 after extra time.

The home team appeared to be heading out of the competition when they trailed 4-2, but scored twice in the final minute of extra time to complete an extraordinary comeback.

Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty six minutes from time, and Kobbie Mainoo equalised with a curled shot into the corner of the Lyon goal.

The winning goal was scored by Harry Maguire, who rose to head the ball into the corner after Casemiro lifted it into the penalty area.

The victory sets up a semi-final match against Athletic Bilbao.

The match was marked by a series of dramatic turns, with Lyon taking the lead in the 70th minute and Manchester United struggling to regain their composure.

However, the introduction of substitutes and a change in tactics ultimately paid off for the home team.

Meanwhile, Manchester United defenders Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelof were forced to leave Old Trafford due to urgent family issues, but both players are reported to be fine.

The win is a significant boost for Manchester United's hopes of securing a Champions League spot through the Europa League.
