00:00Manchester United dragged their season out of the ashes in quite extraordinary fashion as they
00:04scored twice in the final minute of extra time to complete a staggering comeback from 4-2 down
00:09against 10-man Lyon at Old Trafford. United appeared to be heading out of the competition
00:14in the worst possible manner as they tossed away a two-goal lead in the space of seven minutes
00:18before conceding twice in extra time. Supporters were streaming for the exits in their droves but
00:24Bruno Fernandes breathed new life into United when he converted a penalty six minutes from time after
00:29a video assistant referee intervention for a foul on Casemiro that had initially gone unpunished.
00:34With Old Trafford a cauldron of noise, Kabi Menuh somehow kept his cool to curl an equaliser into
00:39the corner of the Lyon goal as the tie entered its final minute. That was extraordinary.
00:45But there was no inclination to settle for penalties from the hosts. In front of legendary former
00:51manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who was watching on from the stands, United produced an ending right
00:56out of his 1999 Champions League winning playbook as Casemiro lifted the ball into the penalty area
01:01and makeshift centre-forward Harry Maguire rose to send it arcing into the corner.
01:06Cue pandemonium as substitutes, the substituted and anyone else who could get there joined in the
01:11celebrations. It was up there with the most famous games this stadium has ever seen and means
01:16Ruben Amaran's side now face a semi-final with Athletic Bilbao.
