“We can do something special at Old Trafford” – Fonseca, Amorim reacts as Lyon earn drawn against United

Lyon 2-2 Manchester United

The battle between Portuguese coaches ended up in a draw in the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, as Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon salvaged a late 2-2 draw against Manchester United of Rúben Amorim to set up a tantalising second leg next week.

Both sides led on the night, with Lyon going ahead before United hit back to hold a 2-1 advantage heading into the dying moments, at which point Lyon were rewarded for being the more proactive side through Ryan Cherki’s last-gasp equaliser.
