Despite being reduced to ten players, the French team momentarily seized control. Goals from Rayan Cherki and an Alexander Lacazette penalty put Lyon ahead, seemingly on course for the semi-finals.

In a stunning finale, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and Harry Maguire all found the net as Manchester United orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, clinching a 5-4 victory on the night and a 7-6 aggregate win.

Hojlund’s Social Media Celebration

Hojlund, substituted in the 87th minute at Old Trafford, joined in Manchester United’s joyous celebrations after the team scored twice in added time to secure their Europa League semi-final spot.

The Danish forward shared a lighthearted joke on Instagram to celebrate Manchester United’s progression, posting: ‘When the road to a semi gives you a semi.’

Maguire, Joshua Zirkzee, and Chido Obi were among those who responded to the joke, leaving laughing emojis in the comments.

Hojlund was among several Manchester United players who took to social media to react to the dramatic events at Old Trafford.

Amad, currently sidelined with injury, posted a cryptic message from the Manchester United dressing room, seemingly teasing teammates Manuel Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho.

The Dutch player captioned the video: ‘To all the fans who left when we were down, have a listen to this.’
