Manchester United suffered a ­second consecutive Champions League defeat as they were second best against the French giants OL Lyonnes, whose attacking midfielder Melchie Dumornay capped off a fine display with two sumptuous late goals.

Dumornay’s superb efforts produced a margin of victory that was no less than Lyonnes deserved, on a night when United failed to lay a glove on their opponents. The defeat greatly reduced United’s chances of securing a top-four spot, which ­guarantees a quarter-final place. Lyonnes are now all-but guaranteed of their place in that quartet and they demonstrated a gulf in quality between themselves and the ­Women’s Super League team.
