Lyon opened the scoring midway through the first half when Thiago Almada’s free-kick was mishandled by United goalkeeper André Onana, allowing the ball to find the net.
Goalkeeper André Onana faced criticism for his role in both of Lyon’s goals. His mishandling of Almada’s free-kick led to so much talk during the game.
United responded just before halftime after Leny Yoro capitalized on a misjudged punch from Lyon’s goalkeeper Perri, heading the ball into the goal to level the scoreline.
The second half saw both teams creating opportunities, but it was United who took the lead in the 88th minute.
Joshua Zirkzee connected with a Bruno Fernandes cross, directing a powerful header past Perri which saw things turned 1-2.
Bruno Fernandes’s assist to Zirkzee was his 12th in the Europa League knockout stages, surpassing Juan Mata’s previous record.
However, Lyon equalized deep into stoppage time when Rayan Cherki seized upon a rebound spilled by Onana, flicking the ball into the net. ​
Andre Onana once again was a focal point after his failure to secure Corentin Tolisso’s shot, leading to Cherki’s equalizer.
