Manchester United took their fans to the cringers last night in a pulsating Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford, MySportDab reports.
Following a run of underwhelming performances on the domestic, it was widely expected that United must play at a very high level to edge out a formidable Lyon in the Europa League last eight.
The first leg bore all the semblances of what will be a dramatic tie as both sides settled for a dramatic 2-2 draw.
United came from behind to lead 2-1 in the match but Lyon scored just at the last touch of the ball to peg the Red Devils to a draw, no thanks to Andre Onana’s goalkeeping blunders.
However, the stage was set for a dramatic second leg at Old Trafford and, as expected, the reverse tie didn’t fall short of the intrigue and drama.
United scored twice in the first half to secure a 2-0 lead before the break but two quick goals by Tolisso and substitute Tagliafico pegged the home side to a 2-2 draw, dragging the game into extra time.
Meanwhile, a minute before regulation time, Tolisso saw his second yellow card and was sent off. It was thought United would leverage their one-man advantage and killed the game but Lyon stunned the Red Devils.
They scored twice after Tolisso’s red card to close in on a 4-2 victory in extra time. Following the two goals by the visitors, some Man United fans were seen beginning to exit the stadium in frustration.
However, it wasn’t over for the Red Devils. Bruno Fernandes scored in the 114th minute via the spot to reduce the deficit. Six minutes later, Kobbie Mainoo scored to tie the score and Maguire finished it off with a late header.
After the match, injured Man United forward Joshua Zirkzee posted a video on social media, blasting Man United fans for not standing by the team till the end of the match.
He wrote on the footage;
“To all the fans who left when we were down… look at this.” Watch Video on Twitter Here.
