Thursday's Recap

It was a simple day at the office as Arsenal skipped into the next round, ringing the changes as they beat Qarabag 1-0 in London.

Alexandre Lacazette scored the only goal of the game, latching onto Mesut Ozil's pass to confidently slot the ball away.

Chelsea fought back to secure their unbeaten record in Group L, with the Blues earning a 2-2 draw at Vidi.

The Premier League team scored two free-kicks to grab a share of the spoils, but the hosts will feel they should have earned the win.

Willian beat the wall to curl his effort home after 30 minutes, but an own goal from Ethan Ampadu gave Vidi an immediate response. The Hungarian side then stunned the travelling fans as they took the lead in the second half. Loic Nego was the hero as the visitors were dumbstruck.

However, the Chelsea bench were on their feet after 75 minutes, with substitute Olivier Giroud firing home his dead-ball effort for a point.

Milan wasted the chance to advance, unable to keep the score down as they crashed away in Greece.

Olympiakos' 3-1 win gave them the second qualifying berth in Group F, with Real Betis winning the group.

Celtic fans were in full voice in their match at home to Salzburg, and despite their defeat, they push forward after Leipzig failed to win.

Sevilla and Villarreal made sure a host of Spanish teams are safely through, with Valencia among them after they dropped into the competition via the Champions League.

Bayer Leverkusen and Frankfurt will represent the Bundesliga in the business end of the competition, with Lazio, Napoli and Inter Milan the sides from Serie A remaining.

Zenit and Kiev will be considered contenders, but with the third-placed UEFA Champions League sides about to enter, the action is set to intensify. The draw for the round of 32 takes place on Monday, with the first leg scheduled for February 14-21.
