Villarreal are all but mathematically out of this season’s Europa League after they were thrashed 0-4 by Roma in their first leg tie. Emerson gave the Italians the lead with an impressive shot from outside of the area shortly before half time, and although Bakambu went close and Mario tested Alisson after the break, Dzeko made it two a few minutes later. The visiting keeper did well to hold on to a low Sansone free kick, but Dezeko scored two more after that to complete his hat-trick and leave Fran Escribá’s team down and out.
