Twitter Reacts to Insane First Half of Man Utd's Champions League Clash With PSG

They were given no hope by the press, but Manchester United look like they might just be in with a chance of pulling off a sensational comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, after heading into half-time 2-1 up (still losing 3-2 on aggregate) in their Champions League last 16 clash.

Things got off to an absolute flyer for United, as their often maligned striker Romelu Lukaku capitalised on PSG defender Thilo Kehrer's horrific error - picking up his shoddy back-pass before rounding Gianluigi Buffoon and, admittedly rather clumsily, firing home after just two minutes. Understandable, Twitter exploded:

PSG were on the ropes, looking shell-shocked, but the Ligue 1 leaders managed to hit back soon after, after Eric Bailey appeared to suffer from a spontaneous bout of narcolepsy, allowing Juan Bernat to breeze past him a tuck the ball home from close range unchallenged.
