United had been cruising in the first half, taking a 2-0 lead into half-time after goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot.
But Tolisso’s header halved the deficit 19 minutes from time, before Nicolas Tagliafico equalised six minutes later.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Lyon took the lead on aggregate through Rayan Cherki in extra time before former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette scored a fourth from the penalty spot.
Lyon’s players celebrated Lacazette’s effort 11 minutes from time by running towards the away end, at the other end of the pitch to where the penalty was taken.
“I think they [Lyon] thought they’d won it, the way they were celebrating,” said Maguire.
“That gave us more of an incentive to turn the game around.
“I think the worst feeling was that we felt we’d thrown it away, rather than lost the game at that moment, and how we managed to get ourselves into that situation, because even going into extra time at 2-2, the momentum was back with us with the sending off, we shouldn’t end up in that situation.
“We’ve got to do far better than that if we want to win this competition – we can’t be doing that and be leaving it to turn it around in that situation.”
United will face Spanish side Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals, after their 2-0 aggregate win against Rangers in the quarter-finals.
