The Europa League is set to make its return this week, and we are here to provide you with the latest updates on the standings, tables, previous results, and upcoming schedule...
Just two weeks ago, the group stages began with thrilling matches. West Ham emerged victorious with a 3-1 win against Backa Topola, while Brighton unfortunately lost 3-2 to AEK Athens. Rangers secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Real Betis, and Liverpool triumphed with a convincing 3-1 win against Linz ASK.
Mohammed Kudus marked a significant moment in his career by scoring his first goal for West Ham, contributing to their impressive comeback win at the London Stadium. Meanwhile, Joao Pedro showcased his penalty prowess with two goals for Brighton, but it was AEK Athens midfielder Ezequiel Ponce who ultimately secured his team's victory with an 84th-minute winner.
In another noteworthy occurrence, Abdallah Sima, who is currently on loan from Brighton, delivered the decisive goal for Rangers in the middle of the second half. This match also marked the end of Michael Beale's tenure as the European head coach before his recent dismissal. Additionally, Liverpool once again demonstrated their ability to turn the tide after conceding early, with goals from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah, solidifying their reputation as the kings of comebacks.
This week, West Ham will be traveling to Freiburg, Brighton will visit Marseille, Rangers will be playing at Aris Limassol, and Liverpool will face Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield.
