    Should have been about 7-2, but their keeper had a career day. The most unlikely 1-0 I've ever seen us play in.

      Saw that their keeper earned man-of-the-match plaudits from the BBC! Who are you hoping for in the semi-final, out of Sevilla and Wolves?

      Karl-Johan Johnsson made 13 saves this evening, the joint-most by a goalkeeper in a single Europa League game since the competition's re-branding in 2009-10.

        I would say Sevilla because Wolves have been a tricky matchup for us the last couple seasons. They're just scary on the counterattack with Traore streaking down the wing and Jimenez the poacher that he is. They have extra motivation to win the competition because they missed out on a spot in Europe due to Arsenal winning the FA Cup. Also, our last match against Sevilla was a disappointing loss in the RO16 during the 17/18 CL campaign, so I would love to see us beat them in the semis.
