Lisbon: Lyon substitute Moussa Dembele struck twice late in the game in Lisbon to deny Manchester City a chance to proceed to the Champions League's semifinal.
Lyon had taken the lead in the 24th minute with a fine finish from Maxwel Cornet, but City's midfielder Kevin De Bruyne cancelled out that initial lead in the 69th minute.
In the later stages of the game, however, Dembele broke free and scored two goals to secure an emphatic victory for the French club.
City had a golden chance to equalize moments after Dembele's first goal, but Raheem Sterling somehow blasted over from close range with the goal at his mercy.
"Different year,same stuff," said De Bruyne,who scored City's equalizer in vain."We need to learn, it's not good enough."
