Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday when Olympiakos scored a last-minute goal at the end of extra-time at the Emirates. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a stunning goal to put the Gunners 2-1 up on aggregate with minutes to spare. But it was late heartache when Youssef El-Arabi netted the goal that pulled it to 2-2 with the visitors going through on away goals.
Last season’s Champions League semi-finalists Ajax crashed out of this season’s Europa League as Getafe wrapped up a 3-2 aggregate win in Amsterdam. Getafe stretched their aggregate lead through Jaime Mata in the fifth minute and although the hosts came back to lead on the night thanks to goals from Danilo and Carel Eiting, the Spaniards held on to record a famous victory.
Bundesliga side Wolfsburg made sure of their place in the next round with a 3-0 win in Malmo that secured a 5-1 aggregate victory for the Germans. Roma booked their place in the last 16 with a 2-1 aggregate win over Gent.
Inter Milan booked their place in the last 16 with a 4-1 aggregate win over Ludogorets in a match played behind closed doors at San Siro due to the coronavirus. The hosts led 2-0 from the first leg but conceded an early away goal as Oliveira Souza struck for the visitors. Any nerves nerves Inter had were settled by a 31st-minute Georgi Terziev own goal, though, before a bizarre header from Romelu Lukaku made it 2-1.
Manchester United comfortably made it through to the last-16 of the Europa League with a 6-1 aggregate win over Club Brugge. Wolves booked their place in the last-16 of the Europa League earlier in the evening as they saw off Espanyol 6-3 on aggregate.
