Harry Maguire revelled in an "amazing feeling" after his stoppage-time winner sent Manchester United through to the Europa League semi-finals in the most dramatic fashion.

Ruben Amorim's side appeared down and out with seven minutes of extra-time remaining after 10-man Lyon, who had trailed 2-0, came from behind to lead 4-2 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate.

However, Bruno Fernandes' calm penalty gave them hope, before substitute Kobbie Mainoo curled Man Utd level in the 120th minute.

There was still time for one more twist, though, with Maguire nodding home Casemiro's cross at the far post just 60 seconds later, sparking wild scenes of celebration at Old Trafford.

"Obviously, it's an incredible game, we made really hard work of it," the defender told TNT Sports.

"We had full control in the second half [at 2-0 up in normal time], had chances to score a third, then they scored out of nowhere. It put us on the back foot.

"To go down 4-2 in extra-time to 10 men is not good enough. We opened ourselves too much. But we dug in and showed great spirit. That's what this stadium does.

"I felt like the fourth goal for them was a sucker punch, but that we'd get chances to get back into it. It fell to me, and thankfully, I scored. It was an amazing feeling."

Maguire's goal was the first 120th-minute winner in any Europa League game, and the first in any major European tie since Atletico Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League in March 2020.

This was just the second time United had won a game by a 5-4 scoreline in their entire history, with the other coming against Arsenal in February 1958.

More importantly, it kept their hopes of salvaging their season alive, with a semi-final tie against Athletic Club to look forward to in their quest to secure Champions League qualification for next term.

"I think that is why we like this sport so much, all the frustration that a coach has in this season, the bad moments," Amorim told the club's website. "When you have moments like this, it is all worth it.

"But then you finish the game, you calm down, and you realise we have a game on Sunday. Then we have to see how the players are and if they are fit to play, because we have to focus a lot on the Europa League.

"These moments can create a connection between fans and players, and we can forget for a few minutes the kind of season we are having.

"Today is a good feeling, but tomorrow, we need to start everything again and focus on the players, and if they are fit to play. If we look at our season, the most important [thing] for everybody is the Europa League."
