After the English representation in the Champions League ended on Wednesday, Thursday night saw the remaining hopes of an English quarter finalist in Europe come to an end in the Europa League last 16 second legs as Everton bowed out.
The Toffees travelled to face Ukranian side Dynamo Kiev with a 2-1 lead but suffered a huge turnaround as they fell to a 5-2 defeat which saw them exit the competition via a 6-4 aggregate. The hosts levelled the tie with Yarmolenko's opener on 21 minutes before Phil Jagielka restored Everton's aggregate lead just eight minutes later. However, Kiev turned the tie around with two rapid strikes from Teodorczyk and Veloso before half-time before Gusev and Antunes rounded off the win with efforts on 56 and 76 minutes.
The all-Italian tie between Roma and Fiorentina saw the Firenze come out on top with a 3-0 win on the night and 4-1 triumph on aggregate. Rodriguez slotted in the opening goal with a ninth minute penalty before Alonso added a second on 18 minutes which put the visitors ahead overall, Basanta sealed the tie on 21 minutes with the Firenze's third goal on the night. A miserable night for Roma got worse late on with the dismissal of Ljajic on 88 minutes as they exited the competition.
Zenit St Petersburg advanced to the last eight despite suffering a 1-0 defeat away to Torino as they benefited from their 2-0 first leg win to advance 2-1 on aggregate. The tie looked set to be solely settled by the first leg result until Glik gave Torino hope in the 90th minute but the strike served only as a win on the night.
Liverpool's conquerors Besiktas exited the competition after suffering a 3-1 home loss to Club Brugge who advanced 5-2 on aggregate as a result. After trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Besiktas levelled the tie through Motta's 48th minute opener before being pegged back on the night by De Sutter's 61st minute equaliser. Brugge wrapped up the tie with a late brace from Mbombo in the 80th and 90th minutes with the latter soon followed with the dismissal of Sahan for the hosts.
Despite drawing 0-0 on the night, Dinamo Moscow exited the competition at the hands of Napoli whose 3-1 first leg advantage proved to be enough to secure a place in the last eight. Sevilla continued their pursuit of securing back-to-back titles with a 2-1 win over fellow La Liga side Villarreal who bowed out 5-2 on aggregate.
The holders went ahead on the night with Iborra's 69th minute strike only to be pegged back four minutes later by Dos Santos' leveller but Villarreal's hopes suffered a blow with the dismissal of Bailly in the 77th minute leaving them with ten men to overturn a 4-2 overall deficit which soon proved futile as Suarez sealed the tie with an 83rd minute strike.
Dnipro survived a late fightback from Ajax to secure a place in the last eight for the first time in their history after advancing on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate which saw their narrow first leg advantage cancelled out on the hour by Badzoer's strike. Extra time saw Konoplyanka give the visitors a 2-1 lead overall before Van Der Hoom levelled with three minutes left of the 120 before being dismissed in added time as the Eredivisie side exited the competition.
Wolfsburg continued their fine form in the competition by dumping out three time winners Inter Milan with a 2-1 win which saw then advance 5-2 on aggregate. After a 3-1 first leg win, Caligiuri extended their aggregate lead with a 24th minute opener before Palacio cut the gap to two goals with a 71st minute leveller. Nicklas Bendtner sealed the win for the Germans with an 89th minute strike to end the Italians hopes of a fourth title.
