Manchester United and Spurs save their seasons; big day in EFL: football
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Jamie Jackson was at Old Trafford to witness the mayhem. He writes: This is Manchester United and their proud DNA of Fergie-time and that 2-1 triumph over Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou. So: enter Harry Maguire to head the winner 34 seconds into added time, put United in dreamland and take the roof off the stadium – Casemiro again the provider, to make it three involvements in the three crucial strikes. United, then, head to Spain for a semi-final first leg at Athletic Bilbao and after this who will wager against them reaching the showpiece at the same venue, after what was, too, a night of redemption for André Onana. Surely not … Photograph: Jon Super/AP They have left it too late … Photograph: Matt West/Shutterstock HARRY MAGUIRE! Photograph: Matt West/Shutterstock Share All of the talk from the Spanish capital leading up to this week of European football was 'Remontada this, remontada that'. Los Blancos were all talk and no action and it was ultimately Manchester United who managed the unthinkable comeback of the week. Against Lyon, Ruben Amorim's side scored three goals in the final six minutes of the match to seal a memorable 5-4 win over Lyon and book their berth in the Europa League last-four. For the first time in the history of a major European competition, a club had scored two goals in the 120th minute. Queue pandemonium at Old Trafford and on the Guardian sports desk . There is bound to be a load of reaction from Manchester alone, which we will be bringing you right here. Spurs and Chelsea also booked their spot in the semi-finals of their respective European competitions and we will cast an eye towards a big weekend including Premier League, WSL and Football League action. As always, if you have any thoughts, questions, complaints or musings (football related or otherwise), feel free to send me an email. Share
