Leny Yoro reveals what happened in the dressing room after Man Utd dramatic 2-2 draw against Lyon

 

Manchester United’s hopes of taking a first-leg advantage back to Old Trafford were dashed after a dramatic 2-2 draw against Lyon at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday night as reported by Manchester Evening News.

 

The Premier League side appeared to be heading for a valuable away win when substitute Joshua Zirkzee nodded in an 88th-minute goal.

 

However, the hosts struck back deep into stoppage time through Rayan Cherki, who punished a second error from goalkeeper Andre Onana.

 

Leny Yoro, who scored his first goal for United to level the match earlier, admitted the result left the dressing room with mixed emotions.

 

The young defender headed in a rebound from Manuel Ugarte’s shot, showing strong instincts inside the box. Despite his personal milestone, the mood post-match was far from celebratory.

 

 

“I think it is a cross moment to concede a goal like that,” Yoro told TNT Sports, expressing the team’s disappointment after giving up the lead so late.

 

United had shown resilience after falling behind early in the game and looked set to carry momentum into the return leg.

 

However, the late equaliser means the tie remains wide open, with everything to play for at Old Trafford next week.

 

 

Yoro, while visibly frustrated, remains optimistic about United’s chances in the second leg. “We can win at Old Trafford, of course. I am 100 per cent confident,” he added.

 

 

The result leaves Manchester United with work to do, but with home advantage on their side, they remain firmly in the race for a semi-final spot.

Following Manchester United’s dramatic 2-2 draw against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final first leg, Leny Yoro emerged as a standout performer, scoring his first goal for the club. Despite the team’s defensive lapses, particularly from goalkeeper Andre Onana, Yoro’s performance was a bright spot in the match.

 

While specific details about the dressing room atmosphere post-match have not been disclosed, Yoro’s previous statements reflect his commitment and enthusiasm for contributing to the team. Earlier, he expressed his eagerness to be on the pitch and fight alongside his teammates, indicating a strong team spirit and dedication.
