Europa League: Inter top Leverkusen 2-1, reach semi

Over football news, Inter Milan have become the 1st team through to the last four of the Europa League, following a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in Dusseldorf.

The Italians got on the score-sheet, after 15 minutes of play, when Nicolo Barella struck brilliantly from the edge of the area. Romelu Lukaku got the 2nd for inter 6 minutes later, cleverly tapping home as he fell.

Kai Havertz reduced the deficit for Leverkusen with a well-worked goal on 25 minutes, after exchanging passes with fellow Germany international, Kevin Volland, but Inter held on to seal their place in the semi-finals. Antonio Conte's side will take on Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk or FC Basel of Switzerland, who meet on Tuesday.

Meanwhile in Cologne, Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty in extra time to help Manchester United beat FC Copenhagen 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Fernandes drilled his spot-kick past FC Copenhagen keeper after Anthony Martial was brought down in the area. The Red Devils, who won this competition four seasons ago, will next meet either Europa League specialists Sevilla or Premier League rivals, Wolverhampton Wanderers for a place in the final.
