Scholes: “not a disaster”
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has insisted that this is not a bad result.
Despite conceding late, he says it is “not a disaster,” as the second leg is at Old Trafford.
Leny Yoro on the draw
Leny Yoro spoke to TNT Sport following the late goal, saying: “we’ll try to win the game at home
“We defended really well but they are a good team”
“We need to be ready for everything, and unfortunately we conceded the goal.”
On his muted celebration, he said: “we want to win so no time for the celebration”

Well, all the talk going into the game was about Andre Onana, and all the talk going out will be about Onana.
He let an effort fly past him for Lyon’s opener, then he spilled the ball to Rayan Cherki for the leveller.
Thiago Almada’s well struck crossed free-kick beat Onana to get the ball rolling in the first half, but United were soon back in it.
Leny Yoro then got his first United goal bang on half-time to level the score, before late in the second-half Joshua Zirkzee sent the ball into the Lyon net to score what looked like the winner.
However, Cherki had the last laugh, and a late goal at the end of the second-half means it is all still to play for as the sides head to Manchester next week.

90+5′ – Lyon have snatched a draw, and Onana has his head in his hands again!
Mikautadze fires an effort towards goal, and while there is power on it, it’s right at Onana.
BUT – the United ‘keeper spills it, and it goes straight into the path of Rayan Cherki, he pokes home with ease to put Lyon level.
They’ve snatched a draw at the death, and ultimately Matic has got the last laugh over Onana here.
