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). Have your say on Man Utd's performance 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 eight errors leading to goals in all competitions, the most of any keeper playing for a Premier League club. With the Red Devils 13th in the Premier League table, their only realistic hope of qualifying for European football next season is through the Champions League spot afforded to the Europa League winner. For large periods they looked well-organised, motivated and were probably the better team in Lyon. But, as has often been the case this season, United were hampered by poor finishing. In the first half Rasmus Hojlund skewed a Patrick Dorgu cutback well wide, while Bruno Fernandes had a shot deflected over and Casemiro struck an overhead kick straight at the goalkeeper. In the second period, an Alejandro Garnacho strike from a Dorgu cross was tipped over and Casemiro headed a corner just wide. United forwards Hojlund and Garnacho both appeared to lack confidence. Hojlund has now scored just one goal in his past 25 United appearances in all competitions, while Garnacho has one from his past 28. Ruben Amorim will hope both will be able to turn their form around in time for the second leg. The Portuguese manager was able to bring on Kobbie Mainoo as a late substitute. The English midfielder had been out with a muscle injury since February.

Just In: Paris 2024: After Being Denied Participation In The 100m Race, Favour Ofili Qualifies For 200metres Semi- Final
~0.9 mins read
Nigeria’s Favour Ofili has qualified for the women’s 200metres semi-final at the Paris 2024 Olympics
Ofili stormed to 22.24s which was her season’s best to win heat 6 of the event She booked her place in the semis ahead of Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith and Gambia’s Gina Bass-Bittaye.
21-year-old Ofili was denied participation in the 100-metre race at the ongoing Olympics in Paris due to administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria and the Nigerian Olympic Committee.
She had expressed her frustration in a series of tweets on Tuesday, where she questioned the trustworthiness of both organisations and called for accountability from those responsible for her lost opportunity
Her post read, “It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 metres at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter me. I have worked for four years to earn this opportunity. For what?”
However, Sports Minister John Owan Enoh in reaction said he would probe the exclusion of Nigerian athlete, Favour Ofili, from the 100m Women’s event Enohbe in a later statement revealed that other countries share similar circumstances to that of Ofili’s.

Alleged PIU Shooter Says Witnesses Lied Against Him
~4.2 mins read
His Claims Came During A Heated Cross-examination By The Director Of Public Prosecution (DPP), A.M. Yusuf, Before Justice Ebrima Jaiteh At The Banjul High Court.
DPP Yusuf Opened His Cross-examination By Questioning Bojang’s Background. “What Was Your Age At The Time Of Your Arrest?” Asked The DPP. “At That Time, I Was 32 Years,” Bojang Replied.
Ousainou Admitted To A Prior Arrest With A Group Of Other Youth By The Drug Squad In 2019 At Brusubi, But Denied Ever Being Arrested By The Police Or Stepping Foot Into The Anti-Crime Unit Headquarters In Banjul, Until His Recent Arrest At Jululung.
Pressed On His Relationship With Key Witnesses, Bojang Denied Knowing Several Of Them Before His Arrest, Including Ebou Sowe (PW6), Alfusainey (the Chef D’garage), And Mama Jabbie (PW3).
“I Don’t Know Her. I Was Directed By Alfusainey To Her At Jululung,” He Said Regarding Mama Jabbie.
On The Alleged Murder Weapon, The Courtroom Briefly Turned Tense As DPP Yusuf Presented Exhibit P28—a Pistol. However, Defense Counsel Lamin J. Darboe Objected, Arguing That Bojang Should Not Touch The Weapon Barehanded To Avoid Contaminating Potential Fingerprint Evidence.
Though The DPP Insisted No Forensic Examination Would Be Conducted, The Court Intervened And Provided A Paper For Bojang To Hold The Gun.
“Do You Know What You’re Holding?” Asked The DPP. “Yes, It Is A Gun,” Bojang Answered. He Was Further Asked What Type Of Gun Was It And Be Responded That He Only Know It Was A Gun.
The DPP Challenged Bojang’s Previous Claim Of Being A “serviceman.” “Yes, I’m A Security Man,” Bojang Clarified. But DPP Asked What Was The Difference Between A Servicemen And A Security Men. “Servicemen Are People In The Service And Use Guns. Security Men Guard The Compound,” Ousainou Responded.
When Asked How He Came Into Possession Of The Pistol, Bojang Firmly Denied The Allegation.
“I Never Had A Gun Or Held A Gun In My Entire Life,” He Said.
He Further Denied That The Weapon Was Recovered From Him, Saying: “That Is False. The Police Never Recovered The Gun From Me. When I Got Arrested, They Took Me To My House And My White Lady’s Apartment, And No Gun Was Found.”
His Counsel, Darboe, Objected To The DPP’s Claims, Arguing That The Prosecution Was Introducing New Evidence By Alleging That The Gun Was Recovered At Brusubi, While Earlier Claims Stated That It Was Found At Sukuta Traffic Lights.
“No, That’s Not True,” Bojang Insisted When The DPP Claimed He Was Present When The Weapon Was Recovered. “I Only Saw The Gun In The Courtroom,” He Added.
When Asked Why Multiple Witnesses Would Lie About Him, Bojang Replied: “Yes, She (Mama Jabbie) Lied Here Because I Told Mama In Jululung That She Was Lying, And She Claimed She Recorded Me. But When She Came To Court To Play The Recording, She Said The Recording Was Lost.”
Bojang Also Claimed That Commissioner Sowe, Too, Fabricated His Testimony, Adding: “He Lied Because When They Arrested Me In The Car, He Told Me That They Came To Save Me And I Should Accept The Allegation. All The Things He Said In Court Were All Lies.”
Pressed Further, Bojang Delivered The Line That Electrified The Courtroom:
“He Lied, And Even The Government Lied Against Me, Trying To Frame Me To Cover Up.”
When Asked About His Statement To The Police, Bojang Said He Never Gave One Voluntarily, Saying: “I Don’t Know Anything About The Statement. He Came With Paper Like A Pamphlet And Asked Me To Thumbprint Them.”
The Case Was Adjourned Until 19 May 2025.
