Manchester United pulled off a historic comeback to reach the UEFA Europa League semi-finals after a chaotic 7-6 aggregate win over Olympique Lyonnais on Thursday, capped by Harry Maguire\u2019s 120th-minute winner at Old Trafford. The match saw eight goals, a red card, and unprecedented late drama as United became the first team to score twice in stoppage time of extra time in a major European fixture.
After a commanding 2-0 lead at halftime through Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot, United unraveled in the second half as Lyon\u2019s Corentin Tolisso and Nicol\u00e1s Tagliafico leveled the score. A red card for Tolisso briefly reignited United\u2019s hopes, but Lyon\u2019s Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette stunned the home crowd with two late goals. Bruno Fernandes\u2019 penalty and Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s equalizer in the 119th minute set the stage for Maguire\u2019s iconic header, sealing a landmark victory for Erik ten Hag\u2019s side.
"We showed incredible character tonight," Maguire said post-match. "The fans deserve this moment after a tough season." United will face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals, reigniting optimism among supporters despite their inconsistent Premier League form.
