Europa League matches 25/2/10

Decent results. One english team is heading out Everton, Fulham or Liverpool?

Shakhtar Donetsk 1-1 Fulham (2-3 on aggregate)
CONGRATULATIONS FULHAM. You have to admit that when you knock the holders of a trophy, it's something special. They did well to win at home. Then the draw in Donetsk was enough to send them through. Fulham are through to the round of 16. Shakhtar are out of the competition.

Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Everton (4-2 on aggregate)
The english team that bravely went out of this year's competition was Everton. Their problem was that they underestimated how good Sporting Lisbon can be at home. They lost the first leg 2-1, but at least scored 3 meaningful goals that send them sailing into the next round.

Unirea Urziceni 1-3 Liverpool (1-4 on aggregate)
Yes, Liverpool are through. I was a little worried that they would lose. But, being Liverpool a loss was almost impossible against a small team like Unirea. Liverpool just got over one hurdle of a rather big race. In the next round, they play French side Lille. I'd be worried if I was Liverpool.

This weekend, there are premier league matches, but I'm short for time.
