Man United seals spectacular comeback to beat Lyon 5-4 and advance to Europa League semifinals

Manchester United stages epic comeback to advance in Europa League, while Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt also secure semifinal spots.

Manchester United’s season isn’t done yet.

On a night of high drama at Old Trafford, the troubled Premier League club put its domestic problems to one side by sealing a spectacular comeback to beat Lyon 5-4 and advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.

United blew a two-goal lead and then had to come back from 4-2 down against 10 men in extra time to produce one of its most memorable victories in its famous stadium.

Harry Maguire's dramatic winner in added time of extra time sparked scenes of jubilation and kept alive hopes that United could yet salvage a desperate campaign that has left the 20-time English champions languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League.

“We still have time to make something special of this season, so we have to think like that and be positive," United head coach Ruben Amorim said.

United will play Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals after the Spanish club beat Rangers 2-0.

Tottenham also overcame its domestic problems by sealing a place in the last four with a 1-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt and a 2-1 aggregate victory.
