Lyon vs Man Utd LIVE: Second error from Andre Onana leaves Europa League quarter-final finely poised
Lyon 2-2 Manchester United: Andre Onana had two errors, including late on as the French side claimed a draw
Manchester United have work to do at Old Trafford after drawing with Lyon 2-2 in the Europa League quarter-finals.
An error from Andre Onana gave Lyon the lead in the first half after the goalkeeper allowed Thiago Almada’s free kick to bounce over his outstretched arms.
Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes both had clear chances turned wide of the target as they searched for the equaliser which gave Ruben Amorim’s men some hope heading towards the second half.
Leny Yoro confirmed their confidence after meeting Manuel Ugarte’s volley with a glancing header which brought the equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
Joshua Zirkzee, coming off the bench in the second half, thought he had scored the winner after meeting a cross from Fernandes in the 88th minute but another mistake from Onana earned the hosts a point.
He fumbled a shot late in stoppage time but Rayan Cherki was on hand quickly to tap it home.

Lyon vs Man Utd
Manchester United travel to France to face Lyon tonight in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.
Ruben Amorim’s side cross the Channel hoping to take a step closer to salvaging something from a desperately disappointing season so far, with the Europa League the only thing left to play for over the last few months.
Last week’s draw to Manchester City showed some encouraging attacking signs while highlighting the desperate need for a player to apply the finishing touch upfront, though the Red Devils will be hoping to find that touch against the French side.
Lyon remain one of France’s most famed sides despite falling from grace since a period of winning seven straight Ligue 1 titles between 2002 and 2008, and have a range of attacking talent including Alexandre Lacazette, Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze.
Good afternoon!
Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Europa League action which sees Manchester United take on Lyon in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
United have been an incredibly consistent team in Europe this year, which is a stark contrast to their domestic form, and are one of the favourites to win this tournament.
But, their hosts this evening are in good form and will feel confident about defeating a lacklustre United side short on confidence themselves.
We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and updates throughout the evening so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
