PARIS: Manchester United’s Europa League quarterfinal tie against Sevilla is finely poised after two late own goals allowed the Spanish side to leave Old Trafford with a 2-2 draw in Thursday’s first leg.
Elsewhere, there were narrow home wins for Juventus and Feyenoord while Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 1-1 draw by Belgian visitors Union Saint-Gilloise.
Erik ten Hag’s United are the favorites to win this season’s competition and they looked to be cruising toward the semifinals as they seized a two-goal first-half lead at Old Trafford thanks to a brace by Marcel Sabitzer.
They could have been out of sight after the break but Antony hit the post at the end of a counterattack and United also saw central defensive duo Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez both come off injured.
