UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
LAST 32
ARSENAL 3-0 BATE agg
3-1
MIGHTY MUSTAFI
Aubameyang
bombs down the right and crosses low. There’s no red shirt nearby, but no
worries, because Volkov, facing his own goal, hangs out a leg and slices the
ball into the bottom left, his keeper wrong footed and given no chance.
Xhaka sends
the set piece towards the penalty spot, where Mustafi rises above a dozy Baga
and plants a header into the bottom left!
Xhaka
whips the corner towards the far post. Scherbitski comes off his line to punch,
but makes an awful balls of it, flapping at thin air. Sokratis, only just on,
heads home from a couple of yards.
MY
OPINION
Arsenal are back on track
now in the Europa League with this win as it was a huge shock the fact that they
got beaten in the first leg. I do wonder what exactly made it so easy in this
match while it was so difficult in the first leg. Bate are sitting on top of
the Belarus League so will go into Europe next season
VALENCIA 1-0 CELTIC agg
3-0
GREAT GAMERIO
It’s a
beautifully worked goal. Perjeo floated a diagonal pass to Wass, who came in
behind Hayes at the far post and headed the ball cleverly back across goal,
where Gameiro was on hand to turn it into the net from six yards. Simunovic was
caught dozing by the striker’s darting run.
MY
OPINION
Valencia
know that with where they are in the Spanish League this season the only way
they can play in Europe next season is to win the Europa League and they have
shown in this match how much stronger the Spanish league is than the Scottish.
I think that Celtic and rangers possibly Aberdeen have to leave the SPL and
create a new league maybe with Ireland or Holland I don’t know but we have seen
this lack of quality again.
CHELSEA 3-0 MALMO agg
5-1
HALLA HUDSON ODI
Kante
leaping onto a loose Malmo header in midfield and driving through a
chasm in the heart of the pitch before laying left to an open Willian. His
slide-rule centre is met by Giroud, who finishes clinically.
The free-kick, a yard outside the box
and a tad to the left of centre, invites a skilled technician to flip it up,
round and into the near corner.
Willian
finds him with the final third of the right flank all to himself, aiming a
perfect ping across from the left. Hudson-Odoi is faced with a back-pedalling
Rieks, who took a bad knock earlier, and makes no mistake – he flashes a fierce
low shot across Dahlin, who gets a finger to it but can’t keep the ball out
MY
OPINION
This shows the damage
Chelsea can do and they are the team who look as the team to beat in the Europa
League at the moment. I want for Chelsea to do well and seem to be pushing
United for 4th place. The Swedish season has not started yet so it
is hard to make predictions.
