It was a mixed bag for the British sides in the Europa League games on Thursday night. The headline result of the night might prove to be Tottenham's 1-0 loss away to AZ Alkmaar, Ange Postecoglou's last chance of winning a trophy in his second season with the club looking altogether more challenging going into the second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in seven days' time.

Manchester United settled for a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

United take on Real Sociedad in the last-16 stage of the competition which offers Amorim's side a final chance of silverware in 2024-25.
