WATCH: Harry Maguire's last-minute goal puts Manchester United into the semi-final of UEFA Europa League

Manchester United made a huge comeback to defeat 10-man Lyon in the UEFA Europa League. With the help of Harry Maguire, the Red Devils secured one of the most spectacular wins in Old Trafford’s history on European nights.

But United staged one of their famous comebacks to win in a last-ditch effort, securing the match 5-4 on the evening and 7-6 overall. Most supporters would consider themselves fortunate to see just one thrilling comeback in a crucial European match, as Harry Maguire netted the ball into the net in the last minute of extra time.
