Man Utd: Manchester United defender Harry Maguire believes Olympique Lyonnais’ premature celebrations, after Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty, incentivised the squad to come back from two goals down in extra time. Despite trailing 2-4, courtesy of two Lyon goals in extra time, United rose to the occasion at Old Trafford and completed a historic comeback, which saw Maguire score the winner through a late header.
“They thought they'd won it, the way they were celebrating. That gave us more of an incentive to turn the game around. I think the worst feeling was that we felt we'd thrown it away, rather than lost the game at that moment, and how we managed to get ourselves into that situation. Because even going into extra time at 2-2, the momentum was back with us with the sending-off.
“I've had some amazing moments at this club. I’ve been here six years now and I've had some great times – some bad times as well. I think that game pretty much summed up my time at this club, to be honest!” Maguire was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
