DORTMUND 3 (Reus 11 Pen, Blaszczykowski 60, Aubameyang 78)
NAPOLI 1 (Insigne 71)
Fernandez sacked Lewandowski to concede the penalty. Reus made the second on a rapid counter attack after Napoli lost possession near the Dortmund box, he played a one-two with Mkhitaryan? before surging up the left flank and centring for the unmarked Blaszczykowski. Kehl gave away possession with a sloppy pass and Insigne lobbed over weak link Weidenfeller. Armero returned the favour lazily hitting a pass against Aubameyang and Lewandowski, who had a quiet game, went for glory but as he ran into traffic the ball broke for Aubameyang and he lobbed Reina to seal victory and keep Dortmund in the hunt for a place in the last 16.

ARSENAL 2 (Wilshere 1, Wilshere 65)
MARSEILLE 0
Sagna released forgotten man Wilshire down the right and he cut inside Mendes before shooting into the top left corner. The ref made amends for not awarding a blatant penalty by inventing one - which Ozil missed. Ramsey and Ozil combined for Wilshire's second and almost certainly send tedious Arsenal into the last 16, again.
Attendance : 59,912
Assists : Sagna, Ozil
ZENIT ST PETERSBURG 1 (Alderweireld 74 og)
ATLETICO MADRID 1 (Adrian 53)
Adrian, who is continually linked to bigger clubs despite being a terrible player, scored a brilliant BUT RARE goal, running in from the left he nutmegged Lodygin in the Zenit goal as he came off his line. Smolnikov's cross took a wicked deflection off Alderweireld and looped high in the air before dropped under the crossbar yet Courtois should have saved.

PORTO 1 (Martinez 48)
AUSTRIA VIENNA 1 (Kienast 11)
Kienast intercepted Danillo's hospital pass, slalomed his way past a defender then drilled a low shot into the bottom right corner - the first goal his team has scored in this season's competition. Martinez scrambled in the equaliser following a spot of head tennis.
Attendance : 24,809

CELTIC 0
MILAN 3 (Kaka' 13, Zapata 49, Balotelli 60)
Given the respective form of both teams and Celtic's excellent home record there should have only been one winner. Kaka' headed in Birsa's corner. Mulgrew smacked a free kick into a wall then clipped the rebound to van dijk who shot straight at Abbiati from six yards out. Having scored a goal from a corner for the first time in forever, Milan scored a second just after the restart when Zapata stabbed Nocerino's shot in at the back post. Balotelli held off Ambrose to angle a shot into the left corner and end his recent goal drought.
Attendance : 58,619
Assists : Birsa, Nocerino, Montolivo
AJAX 2 (Serero 19, Hoesen 42)
BARCELONA 1 (Xavi 49 Pen)
No Messi no problem? Not quite. Hoesen clever back heel allowed Serero to ghost into the box and tap in van Rhijn's centre. Hoesen hooked in a rebound after Puyol handled his initial effort and it's a good job he scored because never in a million years was the ref going to give Ajax a penalty. Van Rhijn's ridiculous hospital pass put Veltman up shit creek and he had no choice but to bring down Neymar. Despite going down to ten men Ajax held on.
Attendance : 53,000
Red Card : Veltman 48 (Ajax)
Assists : van Rhijn, n/a, Neymar (won pen)
