Carlos Tevez came off the bench to score a precious away goal three minutes from time as Manchester United earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Lyon in France.



France superstar Karim Benzema struck nine minutes into the second half to give the French league leaders the upper hand, but Tevez reacted quickest to fire the Reds back into pole position late on.


Benzema was a thorn in United's side all evening, but it was the visitors who created the more clear cut chances with Wayne Rooney thwarted by Gregory Coupet in the best chance of a frantic first half.

i did not see the match but i think in the end the bench strength of man utd saved them and that precious away goal will play a great part in deciding who goes through to the next round
