Manchester City winger Adam Johnson cancelled out Vincenzo Iaquinta’s early strike to earn his side a 1-1 draw against Juventus in their Europa League clash at Eastlands.
Alessandro Del Piero thought he had won the game for the visitors seven minutes from time when his free kick hit the underside of the bar. He complained to referee Eduardo Gonzalez the ball had gone over the line but replays proved otherwise. Liverpool escaped with a goalless draw in their Europa League clash in Utrecht after another disjointed and disappointing performance. A point in the Stadion Galgenwaard, where the hosts had won their previous six matches, was no disgrace but it was hardly one of those classic, gritty away performances in Europe. Roy Hodgson’s side, who had five successive Europa League victories prior to this game, were dominated for long periods and their clean sheet owed much to goalkeeper Jose Reina and a goalline clearance from Raul Meireles.
Sevilla earned their first victory in Europa League Group J with a hard-fought 1-0 win at ten-man Borussia Dortmund. Sevilla went ahead through Luca Cigarini with a goal two minutes into first half stoppage-time, before the hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 50th minute when Marcel Schmelzer was given his second yellow card. Edinson Cavani struck in the eighth minute of injury-time to earn Napoli a point against ten-man Steaua Bucharest in a 3-3 thriller in Romania. Trailing 3-0 after 16 minutes played, the Italians fought back after Pantelis Kapetanos had been sent off. Luigi Vitale scoed on the stroke of half-time, Napoli substitute Marek Hamsik made it 3-2 with 17 minutes remaining before Cribari stunned the hosts with seconds to go. Atletico Madrid suffered another setback in the defence of their Europa League title after being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Bayer Leverkusen. The Spanish side, who ended a 14-year wait for some silverware when they won this competition last season, suffered a 1-0 defeat in their opening Group B match against Aris Thessaloniki and they dropped another two points at the Vicente Calderon against Leverkusen. Villarreal got their Europa League Group D campaign up and running with a deserved 2-1 victory over ten-man Club Brugge at El Madrigal.
