Man Utd Held Late In Lyon After Onana Errors

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana endured a night to forget as two costly mistakes allowed Lyon to snatch a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.

The Cameroon international allowed Thiago Almadas soft free-kick to skip past him the day after being called one of the worst goalkeepers in Uniteds history in a pre-match spat involving the clubs former midfielder Nemanja Matic, now with Lyon.

Teenage defender Leny Yoro equalised just before half-time and Joshua Zirkzees header in the 88th minute looked to have won the game for United at Groupama Stadium.

But Onana failed to hold Georges Mikautadzes low shot deep into stoppage time and Rayan Cherki poked home the rebound, leaving the tie in the balance ahead of the return clash at Trafford next week.

United ability to rebuild a squad in danger of the clubs worst top-flight finish since relegation in 1974, likely hinges on sealing a return to the Champions League.
