Olympique Lyon 2 Manchester United 0 - half-time

A desperate first half performance has left Manchester United trailing Lyon 2-0 at half-time in the Champions League in Lyon tonight.

Under fire goalkeeper Tim Howard will come under further pressure as he spilled a free-kick on 35 minutes, allowing Cristiano Cris to sneak the ball home on 35 minutes.

Lyon extended their lead when Sylvain Wiltord, formerly of Arsenal, fed Pierre-Alan Frau, who finished superbly on 45 minutes.
