MANCHESTER UNITED have beaten Lyon 7-6 on aggregate to progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League in the most dramatic of circumstances.
Manuel Ugarte broke the deadlock on 10 minutes, finishing a superb move to put the English giants ahead in the crunch tie.
Diogo Dalot gave the Red Devils breathing room just before half time with a striker-like finish.
Corentin Tolisso got one back for Lyon with 70 minutes on the clock before Nicolas Tagliafico made the clash 2-2 and sent the dramatic tie to extra-time.
The French side went into the additional period with 10-men after Tolisso received his second yellow card moments before the full time whistle, but it didn’t matter as Rayan Cherki’s rocket put Lyon in front.
It went from bad to worse for United as Alexandre Lacazette netted a penalty to make it 6-4 on aggregate in the second half of extra time.
But an unbelievable seven-minute period saw United turn the tie on its head after goals from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and finally a stunning winner from Harry Maguire at the death put Man Utd in the Europa League semi-finals.
The Red Devils will face Athletic Club in the last four of the European competition.
