Mason Greenwood’s solo equaliser rescues Fenerbahçe against Lyon in Champions League play-off

Lyon had quietened the crowd late in the first half, Belgian striker Loïs Openda making it 1-0 on 40 minutes.

Greenwood, the former Marseille forward, equalised in the 47th minute after Kerem Aktürkoğlu drifted infield to find him. The Briton, 24, shimmied past Abner Vinicius and drove a superb left-foot shot into the far corner.

His strike re-energised the hosts moments into the second half.
