Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana’s errors gifted French side, Lyon, a 2-2 draw in the Uefa Europa League quarter final first leg against Manchester United on Thursday 10 April, 2024 at Groupama Stadium.
The Cameroon international’s two errors led directly to both of Lyon’s goals.
Onana’s first error saw him miss Thiago Almada’s bouncing free-kick in the 25th minute before goals from Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee in the 5th minute of first half additional time and 88th minute respectively.
Another error from the Reds goalie made way for Rayan Cherki to level very late for Lyon in the 5th minute of additional time.
This simply means Manchester United will now have to beat Lyon in the return leg in seven days’ time to scale through.
HC: Onana has been erratic from the get-go, is somebody just seeing it now?! Is it over-confidence or just being too forward?! But, he is still good!!
