Soon after Gonzalo Higuain went round Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris but ended up hitting the post. Lyon were the better team in the second half as Lisandro forced a good save from Iker Casillas from 25 yards. The goal came when Pjanic picked up a pass from Lisandro inside the area before smashing a shot past Casillas.

Man Utd 4-0 AC Milan

Park got United’s 3rd before Fletcher scored a header from a great cross from Rafael
