Manchester United are in the Europa League semi-finals after Harry Maguire’s late goal secured them a dramatic 5-4 win against Lyon in extra-time.

Manuel Ugarte and Diego Dalot gave United a 2-0 lead in the first half.

But the French side roared back with Nicolás Tagliafico and Corentin Tolisso to claim a 2-2 draw, the same scoreline from the first leg, and force extra-time.

Lyon started extra-time with 10 men after Tolisso was sent off in the 89th, but still managed to turn the game around through Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette.

United, however, didn’t give up. Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the spot and Kobbie Mainoo levelled the score – just a minute before Maguire’s header completed the fantastic victory.

The Premier League side will now face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals.

In Rome, Europa League sensation Bodø/Glimt claimed a 3-2 win on penalties to oust Lazio and set up a semi-final tie against Tottenham.
