    Europa League: Onana’s Blunder Gifts Lyon Late Leveller To Keep Man United Tie Open

    By EditorApril 11, 2025
    Onana Blunder

    MANCHESTER United goalkeeper Andre Onana was at fault for two goals as a last-gasp Lyon equaliser put Manchester United’s Europa League quarter-final tie in the balance at the halfway stage.

    United went behind after 25 minutes when under-pressure Onana failed to get a strong enough hand to Thiago Almada’s wide free-kick.

    In the final seconds of the first half Leny Yoro equalised with his first goal for United by reacting quickly to Manuel Ugarte’s volley and diverting the ball into the bottom corner.

    The visitors thought they had won late on when substitute Joshua Zirkzee headed home Bruno Fernandes’ looping cross in the 88th minute.

    But, with the last play before the final whistle, Onana spilled Georges Mikautadze’s shot and Rayan Cherki tapped in on the rebound.

    United host Lyon in the second leg at Old Trafford next Thursday (20:00 BST).

    Attention was always going to be on Onana who was labelled “one of the worst keepers” in Manchester United history by Lyon substitute Nemanja Matic on Wednesday.

    Ex-United midfielder Matic had been responding to comments by Onana who said his side are “way better” than their French opponents.

    Onana was booed every time he touched the ball inside Groupama Stadium, even if he had little to do before Lyon’s opener.

    With Lyon’s first goal the 29-year-old reacted late to Almada’s cross, having to wait to see if a Lyon player would divert the ball, and was caught out when the free-kick kept its line.

    The ball bounced just before the Cameroonian and then skidded through his hands before hitting the net.

    For the second Onana was unable to gather a shot which, although was hit with power – was straight at him, and Lyon’s Cherki was gifted a late leveller.

    It means since the start of last season Onana has made nine errors leading to goals in all competitions, the most of any keeper playing for a Premier League club.
