European League
On Thursday, Manchester United handed AC Milan a victory in stoppage time in the first leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League. Until the 92nd minute, the “Red Devils” went ahead after a goal from 18-year-old Amad Diallo (50th), then Simon Kjaer managed to equalize for the Milanese in the 92nd minute.
Milan started at Old Trafford with a weakened replacement, but initially showed a convincing away game even without Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Hakan Calhanoglu. The ball was twisted twice in United’s net, but the goals did not count for offside and a hand.
The goal was then made by the title holder in 2017. The young Frenchman Diallo hit his head after a chip template from Bruno Fernandes (50th). After Daniel James missed a “Sitzer” after the Stanglpass to 2-0 (72nd), Danish defender Kjaer assured the “Rossoneri” with a header after a corner the important away goal (92nd).
Salzburg conqueror Villarreal by train
The starting position for Salzburg conqueror Villarreal is excellent after a 2-0 win at Dynamo Kiev and Ajax Amsterdam after a 3-0 home win against the Young Boys from Bern. Villarreal repeated the good result of the first leg of the Salzburg duel in the round of 32. Pau Torres (30th) and Raúl Albiol (52nd) scored the goals of the seventh Spaniard in Kiev against the leader of the Ukrainian league.
A 3-0 also allows Ajax to calmly approach the second leg against the Young Boys. The Dutch set the tone on the home field from the start. Davy Klaasen (62nd), Dusan Tadic (82nd) and Brian Brobbey (92nd) all scored against the Swiss championship leader, who last eliminated Bayer Leverkusen, but only fired one shot on Thursday. Slavia Prague and new Scottish champions Glasgow Rangers and coach Steven Gerrard parted ways 1-1.
Victories for Tottenham and Arsenal
The door to the quarter-finals is wide open for London’s top clubs Tottenham and Arsenal. English striker Harry Kane shot the WAC conqueror with a double (25, 70) for a 2-0 at home against Dinamo Zagreb. Arsenal celebrated three away goals in a 3-1 win against Olympiacos. Granada did not allow such a thing in the 2-0 win over Rapid-Schreck Molde.
Arsenal first claimed a long-range goal from Martin Ödegaard with the help of the goalkeeper (34th), but then caught the almost mandatory goal. Youssef El-Arabi (58th) gave the Greeks hope, which Gabriel (80th) topped and “Joker” Mohamed Elneny (85th) slashed at the end.
AS Roma can also breathe a sigh of relief after the 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Lorenzo Pellegrini (27th), Stephan El Shaarawy (73rd) returned from China and Gianluca Mancini (77th) scored against Donetsk.
