Joe GallagherMar 17, 2016

It was all looking rosy for Gary Neville as Valencia scored twice in the first half to overcome Athletic Bilbao's first-leg lead in the Europa League's last 16.

Goals by Santi Mina and Aderlan Santos had Valencia 2-1 up in the tie, but it all unravelled for Neville in the second spell.

As he has done so many times this season, Aritz Aduriz scored in the 76th minute to put Athletic in front on away goals.

And the former Manchester United and England man Neville had to watch from the stands as his side was bundled out of the competition, receiving a red card for remonstrating with the fourth official.

Not a good day for Neville...
