Hugo Keenan's late try secured a dramatic victory for the British & Irish Lions, overturning an 18-point deficit against Australia to win the series with a game to spare. The triumph marked the largest comeback in the Lions' test history, leaving Australian fans heartbroken.
In a thrilling encounter at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, British & Irish Lions fullback Hugo Keenan scored a decisive try to clinch a 29-26 victory over Australia, completing a record comeback from 18 points down and securing the series win.
The match was not without controversy, as Australia contested the legality of Jac Morgan's action in the lead-up to Keenan's try. Despite an anxious wait for the match official's decision, the try was upheld, granting the Lions their first series triumph since 2013.
The Lions, led by coach Andy Farrell, were ecstatic as they celebrated their achievement. Meanwhile, the Wallabies, despite showcasing a revamped and spirited performance, were left to ponder what might have been as they suffered a heartbreaking defeat.
