Arsenal fought back to earn a 2-2 draw in an action-packed and error-filled Europa League last-16 first leg at Sporting.
Freiburg was narrowly beaten 1-0 by Juventus in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League last 16 ties, meaning their hopes of progression to the quarter-finals are still alive.

Jose Mourinho’s Roma secured a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, putting themselves in a favourable position for the next leg.
Stephan El Shaarawy scored the first goal of the game by finishing off a cross from Tammy Abraham, and Roma waited until the end of the match to score their second goal, with Marash Kumbulla finding the back of the net with only three minutes left in regular time.
Bayer Leverkusen defeated Ferencvaros 2-0 with goals from Kerem Demirbay and Edmond Tapsoba, improving their chances of advancing to the last eight. The Bundesliga side took a 10th-minute lead from Kerem Demirbay’s 17-metre drive into the top left corner.
Ferencvaros had a close call when Kristoffer Zachariassen hit the crossbar, but they were mostly ineffective, as were the hosts, Bayer Leverkusen, who generated few chances. However, Edmond Tapsoba secured the win for Leverkusen by heading in the rebound from Adam Hlozek’s free-kick that hit the left post.
The half-time changes turned a hesitant Sevilla side into a much better team, and they will travel to Turkey next week with a two-goal lead, with goals from Joan Jordán and Lamela.
Dmitrovic was the standout performer for Sevilla in the first half.
