Lyon put on a sizzling second half show to send Everton packing from Group E of the Europa League, which means Premier League survival is now the Toffees’ only target.
The Everton fans that enjoy online gambling with Asian Handicap Betting will have raised an eyebrow on seeing the team sheet. Interim coach David Unsworth had rested Wayne Rooney, Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka.
With a home match against Watford this weekend the league is a priority for Unsworth but winning football games, and losing them, is a habit. And the 3-0 drubbing won’t have helped confidence. Everton held out for three quarters of the game but then strikes from Bertrand Traore, Houssem Aouar and Memphis Depay booted the Merseysiders out with just a single point.
The win takes Lyon joint top of the group with Atalanta, after the Serie A club was held 1-1 by Apollon Limassol. Josip Ilicic fired Atalanta ahead from the penalty spot, but the hosts grabbed a last gasp point when Emilio Zelaya headed home on 94 minutes.
Arsenal progressed to the last 32 despite being held to a 0-0 draw with Crvena Zvezda in Group H, and Milan stays top of Group D and two points ahead of AEK Athens after the two teams played out a goalless draw in Greece.
An injury time own goal by Maxime Le Marchand was enough to see Lazio progress from Group K, with a 1-0 win over Nice, while Villarreal took control of Group A, Carlos Bacca putting the Yellow Submarine on course for a 0-2 win away to Slavia Prague.
