Celtic Games - Champions League 2003

Celtic 2-0 Lyon

Alan Thompson had a chance to put Celtic ahead 5 minutes before half time after Lasson had been tripped in the box and a penalty was awarded. Thompson didn't strike it well and the keeper easily stopped it. Liam Miller had the thrill of his life as the young Irishman came off the bench to head the goal that started Celtic’s hard-won victory and took them back into contention for honours in Group A. By the time Chris Sutton headed the second, both goals coming from impeccable crosses by Henrik Larsson, the home support had forgotten Alan Thompson’s failure to convert a first-half penalty kick that could have made this extraordinary event less nerve-jangling.
