There were wins for Liverpool, Panathinakos and Valencia while Everton and Roma were knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday.

Last season's UEFA Cup winners, Shakhtar Donetsk, were dumped out of the rebranded Europa League by Fulham.

The Londoners drew 1-1 in Ukraine to complete an impressive 3-2 aggregate win. Brede Hangeland headed them in front on the night before Jadson hit back following superb work from Douglas.

The one negative note for Roy Hodgson was the needless late sending-off of captain Danny Murphy for a petulant kick at Darijo Srna.

Juventus stood firm as Italy's only representatives by holding Ajax to a goalless draw at the Stadio Olimpico to complete a 2-1 aggregate victory in the round's most eye-catching tie.

The home side came the closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half when Mohamed Sissoko hit a post with a header but they did not need a goal to progress to the last 16.

Ajax lacked incision in attack as they failed to trouble Juve goalkeeper Alex Manninger.

Panathinaikos claimed a notable scalp, the Greek side completing a second 3-2 win over Roma. Djibril Cisse scored twice, the first a penalty, either side of Sotiris Ninis' strike in the final five minutes of the first half.

John Arne Riise and Daniele De Rossi scored Roma's goals before Pana's Kostas Katsouranis collected a second yellow card in the last minute.

Everton were eliminated after Sporting scored three times in the final 26 minutes to turn around a first-leg deficit.

Miguel Veloso beat the offside trap to start the fightback before Pedro Mendes' deflected strike and Matias Fernandez's late clincher sent the Lisbon side through.

Everton's city rivals Liverpool survived a scare against Romanian side Unirea Urziceni. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, the Reds were pegged back by Bruno Fernandes' header before Javier Mascherano's superb strike and further goals from Ryan Babel and captain Steven Gerrard saw them through.

They will face Lille, after Adil Rami's late header saw the French side past Fenerbahce. Emre Belozoglu's first-half strike would have seen Fener progress on away goals, with the tie locked at 2-2, but Rami popped up four minutes from time to reward Lille's pressure.

Valencia overturned a first-leg deficit to see off Club Brugge in extra time. Juan Mata needed only 13 seconds to level the tie from Luis Miguel's cross, but the Mestalla had to wait a further 96 minutes for Pablo Hernandez's 20-yard winner.

The same player then forced two superb saves from keeper Stijn Stijnen before adding a late third from close range.

Hamburg saw off PSV Eindhoven on away goals after a dramatic finish. PSV trailed 1-0 from the game in Germany but took the lead courtesy of goals from Ola Toivonen and Balasz Dzsudzsak.

But Mladen Petric and Piotr Trochowski put Hamburg back on top and Danny Koevermans' last-minute header was not enough for the hosts.

Diego Forlan's last-minute winner saw Atletico Madrid past Galatasaray, a 2-1 win on the night sealing a 3-2 aggregate scoreline.

Simao's opener was quickly cancelled out by Kader Keita's header but, after Gala's Caner Erkin was sent off for two bookings within a minute, Jose Antonio Reyes set up Forlan to stave off extra time and settle the tie.

Claudio Pizarro's hat-trick earned Werder Bremen a 4-1 win to turn around a first-leg deficit to FC Twente. Naldo scored the Bundesliga side's other goal, with Luuk de Jong on target for Steve McClaren's side.

And Wolfsburg completed a good night for Germany, also winning 4-1 on the night to complete a 6-3 aggregate rout of Villarreal.

Edin Dzeko, Christian Gentner and Grafite were on the mark, while Lopez Angel's own goal helped the Wolves on their way. Joan Capdevila scored for the Spanish side.

Anderlecht produced a superb second-leg display to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0, and 5-1 on aggregate.

Romelu Lukaku's strike gave them a fourth-minute lead which was extended by Mikel San Jose's own goal, with second-half strikes from Mbark Boussoufa and Jonathan Legear putting the gloss on the result.

Marseille beat Copenhagen 3-1 for the second week in succession, Bakari Kone scoring twice after Hatem Ben Arfa had opened the scoring for the evening. Ailton scored Copenhagen's late consolation.

Rubin Kazan held Hapoel Tel Aviv to a goalless draw in Israel to preserve their 3-0 first-leg lead, while Standard Liege progressed 3-2 on aggregate after their second leg away to Salzburg also ended in stalemate.
