Wolves reach Europa League quarterfinals

Aug 07, 2020

Wolves are through to the Europa League quarterfinals after beating Olympiacos 1-nil this morning.

A 9th minute penalty from Raul Jimenez was enough to give them a 2-1 aggregate win.

They will take on Sevilla, who defeated Roma 2-nil

That match was played in the neutral venue of Duisburg, Germany, as the first leg in March had to be called off due to COVID-19.

In other matches, Bayer Leverkusen beat Rangers 1-nil this morning, and 4-1 on aggregate - they will face Inter Milan in the last-8.

And Basel posted a 1-nil win over Eintracht Frankfurt

Their 4-nil aggregate victory means they will take on Shakhtar Donetsk in the quarters.

The English Premier League has voted to bring back the three-substitutes rule for next season, instead of having 5. 

The 5 subs rule was introduced when the league returned from the COVID-19 suspension in June, for the welfare of players. 

Some clubs wanted the new rule to carry over to the 2020/2021 campaign, but their proposal was voted down in a meeting last night.
