Everton Crashes Out of Europa League After 3-0 Defeat to Lyon

Everton have crashed out of the Europa League thanks to a humbling 3-0 defeat in Lyon, condemning David Unsworth to his third defeat as manager of the Merseyside club.

The Toffees mathematically cannot proceed to the next round of the competition, and have continued to hold the record for the worst ever performance by an English side at this stage of the Europa League.

A very underwhelming first half began as one would expect, with Lyon dominating the ball and the visitors with ten men behind the ball - having gone into the game playing Gylfi Sigurdsson as a makeshift striker.
