Man United defender Leny Yoro put his body on the line during his clash against Lyon.<br /><br />United faced the French side in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie at Old Trafford on Thursday night. After a dramatic first leg, the scores were level at 2-2.<br /><br />Goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot put the hosts 2-0 up on the night, but Lyon fought back and took the tie to extra-time thanks to strikes from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico. The Red Devils eventually progressed by a monumental 7-6 aggregate win after coming from 4-2 down on the night to win 5-4. <br /><br />However, United came under pressure towards the end of the normal time as Lyon pushed for an equaliser, and one defensive moment left fans in awe.<br /><br />As Lyon's Malick Fofana cut inside the area when the score was 2-1, Yoro slipped as he attempted to keep up with the winger.<br /><br />However, the Frenchman didn't give up and remarkably dived in front of the ball to block Fofana's shot with his head.<br /><br />Yoro was left on the ground following his head-tackle, but after some treatment, he was able to return to action. <br /><br />Speaking on TNT Sports' commentary of the clash, United legend Rio Ferdinand was left in awe of Yoro.<br /><br />'I hope he's alright,' he said. 'But I can't help laughing. He slips, he loses his balance. OOOH. Look at that, he slips over. WOW. <br /><br />'Surely he'll be alright, ball to head. He deserves a little clap, though; he was brave there. <br /><br />'He got done in the first instance, loses his footing, but he's clamouring to get over and puts his head in the way. That's what you want from defenders, isn't it?'<br /><br />Meanwhile, Robbie Savage was left shocked as he added: 'Did he just hear that? I think Yoro tackled with his head!'<br /><br />The incident bore a resemblance to former United defender Phil Jones, who tackled Olivier Giroud with his head in a game against Arsenal in 2015.<br /><br />Elsewhere, former England and Chelsea defender John Terry was also seen showing some impressive commitment during his career, with one particular incident against Watford in 2017, where he completed a tackle via his head, going down in folklore.
