Juventus 0-3 Villarreal (1-4 on aggregate): Unai Emery's side score three late goals to move into quarter-finals

Villarreal scored three late goals to move into the Champions League quarter-finals as Juventus went out in the last 16 for a third successive year.

The Spanish side did not have a shot on target before substitute Gerard Moreno converted a 78th-minute penalty after Daniele Rugani fouled Francis Coquelin.
