Europa League Wrap Up

1 min read October 24, 2014

A hat-trick from Harry Kane helped Tottenham thrash Greek side Asteras Tripolis and on to a first win in the Europa League group-stage.

Soon after, Erik Lamela struck twice, the first being a stunning strike that bought White Hart Lane to its feet. The £30 million Argentine wrapped his left foot around his right leg to score brilliantly from 20 yards, a goal many have called upon as ‘simply brilliant’.

Meanwhile, Everton’s Europa League ambitions remain on course after battling their way to a deserved draw in Lille.

Cheered on by more than 6,000 travelling fans, Roberto Martinez’s men produced a well-organised and increasingly lively display against their French hosts.

Elsewhere, the goals were liberally spread among the games in Europe’s second tier competition with Borussia Moenchengladbach hitting five, Besiktas, VfL Wolfsburg, Salzburg and Villarreal all scoring four goals.

Rijeka’s Andrej Kramaric underlined his status as one of the hottest prospects in European soccer with a hat-trick while trouble flared in eastern Europe again and Napoli lost 2-0 to Young Boys.
