Former Man Utd winger Depay celebrates in bar after Lyon secure Europa League progress

The Dutch winger was cup-tied for a quarter-final clash with Besiktas, but played a full part off the pitch as he revelled in a penalty shootout win

Memphis Depay made the most of his spectator role on Thursday as he celebrated Lyon’s penalty shootout victory over Besiktas in a bar.

The Dutch winger was cup-tied for the quarter-final encounter having previously graced the competition this season with Manchester United.

While unable to play any part on the pitch, Lyon’s £15 million winter purchase was fully involved in the party spirit off it as he joined supporters in saluting the efforts of Bruno Genesio’s side.
