Fulham to play Wolfsburg in Europa League

  • 14 years ago

Fulham's reward for their stunning victory over Juventus is a Europa League quarter-final with German side Wolfsburg.


Roy Hodgson's side recovered from losing the first leg 3-1 and conceding an early goal in the second leg at Craven Cottage to secure a memorable 5-4 aggregate win over the Italian giants.


They have now been drawn to face Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg in the last eight, with the first leg at home and a potential semi-final against either Hamburg or Standard Liege to follow.


In the other quarter-finals, Liverpool take on Portuguese side Benfica with the second leg at Anfield.


The winner of that tie will face the winner of the all-Spanish tie between Valencia and Atletico Madrid.


Liverpool lost the first leg 1-0 to Lille in the previous round but goals from Steven Gerrard and a Fernando Torres brace at Anfield kept their hopes of silverware this season alive.
