Lions clinch series as last-gasp try seals epic comeback

Watch every game of 2025 Lions tour, including all three Tests vs Australia, live on Sky Sports

Hugo Keenan's final-minute try saw the British and Irish Lions fight from 18 points behind to beat Australia 29-26 at the MCG to clinch their three-Test series with a week to spare.

The Wallabies began like a train in Melbourne and scored three tries for a 23-5 lead through prop James Slipper, scrum-half Jake Gordon and full-back Tom Wright, taking charge when Lions wing Tommy Freeman was sin-binned due to repeat team infringements.

The Lions crucially responded before the break, however, with Tom Curry and Huw Jones tries arriving and adding to Dan Sheehan's earlier effort.

Australia moved nine points up in the second half via a third Tom Lynagh penalty, but Tadhg Beirne then finished brilliantly for a Lions fourth try to make things a two-point game.

The hosts looked to have done enough in front of a record crowd of over 90,000, but Keenan struck with 30 seconds remaining to seal a highly-dramatic victory.
