00:00Well, where do we start with that one, eh?
00:03Manchester United scored three goals in seven extra time minutes
00:08as they came from behind to defeat Lyon 5-4 in a Europa League epic at Old Trafford
00:14and keep those Champions League qualification dreams alive.
00:18Manchester United made five changes from the team that lost to Newcastle at the weekend
00:23and it looked like it was going to be a comfortable evening for Ruben Hammering's side.
00:27They went into a 2-0 lead and they looked like they were home and dry, really.
00:31They had chances to put the game to bed. They didn't do so.
00:34And this being Manchester United, they would pay the price.
00:37Lyon rallied later on. They were the better side for a large chunk of the second half.
00:42They managed to get scores back to 2-2 through Tolisso.
00:47He was then sent off in normal time, ensuring that it was 2-2 once again on the night.
00:53United had the man advantage over Lyon going into extra time.
00:58Well, it wasn't going to be straightforward, was it?
01:00Lyon was the side who took the lead in that additional period of time.
01:03Right.
01:04Scherke fired it in to send the away fans into absolute bedlam behind us here in Old Trafford.
01:11And then it got even better. Lacazette scored a penalty after Luke Shaw committed a foul in the box.
01:16Lyon led 4-2 with ten minutes left.
01:20But they crucially had one man fewer than Manchester United.
01:24United went down the other end and they got a penalty of their own.
01:27Bruno Fernandes, calm, composed, clinical.
01:30The spot ensured they went back to 4-3 on the night.
01:35And then United pushed forward again.
01:37The bombardment came.
01:39Playing without a striker at this point in time.
01:41Kobi Maynou got the ball down in the United box.
01:44Cut inside and curled a ferocious effort into the far corner to make sure it was 4-1.
01:49And the game was heading for a penalty shootout.
01:51Oh no, we weren't done there either.
01:53Harry Maguire playing as an auxiliary striker with the header to win it for Manchester United.
01:595-4 on the night.
02:01One of the ultimate, crazy Europa League games.
02:04One of the great European nights.
02:06I know it might not be Champions League.
02:08But the manner of the comeback.
02:09The fact United were playing against ten minutes.
02:11They were down and out.
02:12They were playing without a striker.
02:13The team that doesn't score goals.
02:15And then they got three in ten minutes.
02:17Crazy, crazy match here at Old Trafford.
02:20Full time.
02:21I'm still trying to comprehend what has just happened.
02:23Manchester United 5-4.
02:26Lyon 4-4.
02:28Really?
02:29You heard that right.
02:30Thank you for the colleagues of Manchester World.

02:32It's all the match reaction.
02:33And build up as well in a few days.
02:35So that we can clash with Wolves.
02:37We all need to lie down after that one.
