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.
