'One of the very best' games in Old Trafford's long history

Sometimes, it is pointless trying to make sense of this game.

Sir Alex Ferguson's famous "football, bloody hell" comment after the 1999 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich, which featured two injury-time goals to win it, sprang to mind as Harry Maguire headed off down the tunnel at the end of the thrilling Europa League win over Lyon.

United boss Ruben Amorim responded to his goal by chasing off down the touchline, just as Jose Mourinho famously did when Porto won in this stadium in 2004. Rio Ferdinand, commentating for TNT Sports, was shown jumping up and down with delight.
