Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia put through their own goal late on as Manchester United squandered a comfortable lead in a 2-2 draw against Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.
Captain Maguire deflected into his own net in the 92nd minute, just eight minutes after Malacia had turned past David de Gea as Sevilla somehow found a way back at Old Trafford in the quarter-final first leg.
A Marcel Sabitzer first-half double appeared to have Erik ten Hag’s hosts in complete control, only for the late drama to leave United reeling by full-time.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side will boast home advantage in a week’s time as they eye a seventh Europa League title since the 2006-07 season.
Jadon Sancho fired past Sevilla keeper Bono with less than 30 seconds on the clock, only to be curtailed by a late offside flag.
A smart Bono stop denied Antony soon after, though the goalkeeper could do little two minutes later as Bruno Fernandes found Sabitzer, whose strike deflected into the top-left corner.
Sabitzer added his second just six minutes later after latching onto Anthony Martial’s throughball and drilling past Bono.
De Gea kept United’s lead intact at the interval after producing an expert save against a Tanguy Nianzou header from Ivan Rakitic’s corner.
Antony twice went close after the break, whipping a curling effort wide before seeing a similar attempt smash off Bono’s right post.
Christian Eriksen’s 62nd-minute introduction after three months out injured came as United seemed set for victory, only for Malacia to offer Sevilla hope when turning Jesus Navas’ low cross into his own net.
Sevilla then seized an unlikely comeback in the closing stages as Youssef En-Nesyri’s header fortuitously deflected off Maguire and wrongfooted De Gea.
