Europa League semi-final


                      Europa League semi-final

It was a frustrating night for Serie A sides in the first legs of the Europa Leaguesemi-finals.
Both Napoli and Fiorentina failed to win - the former drew 1-1 at home to Dnipro while the latter lost 3-0 away to Sevilla.
Fiorentina beat Tottenham, Roma and Dynamo Kyiv on the way to the last four, but judging by their performance on Thursday, this could be the end of the line.
Vincenzo Montella's side were hammered 3-0 in Seville - a result they will struggle to overturn in Florence next week.

Rafa Benitez's side deservedly took the lead through David Lopez early in the second half and appeared to be heading for a comfortable win.
But with 10 minutes remaining, Yevhen Seleznyov popped up with an equaliser, leaving the Neapolitans with a daunting task in eastern Europe next Thursday.
