Europa League Roundup: Spirited Napoli Crash Out on Away Goals as Lazio Crush Steaua

The Europa League returned on Thursday night, with European heavyweights Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Dortmund all vying to protect their current leads and proceed through the round of 32 in their reverse ties. Here's a round up of the action...

RB Leipzig and Napoli's topsy turvy match up continued late into the second leg, with Piotr Zielinski cutting the deficit to within one before the interval at 3-2. Lorenzo Insigne levelled the scoring late on and made things tense for the hosts, but the Germans edged the Serie A leaders on away goals.

In France, Nice were hard-pressed to make it through after a late slump to a 3-2 defeat at home to Lokomotiv Moscow last week, after Manuel Fernandes inspired a second half comeback; netting a superb hat-trick.
