Manchester United bounced back from a historic thrashing by Liverpool to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie on Thursday, while a 2-2 draw away to Sporting Lisbon gave Arsenal work to do to reach the quarter-finals. United equalled their heaviest ever defeat and worst since 1931 in losing 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday. Erik ten Hag responded by naming the same starting line-up and was rewarded with a return to form.

You see how a team reacts after a setback, said Ten Hag. This is not the first time this season, I think you see five or six times we can reset and bounce back. This team has character so a big compliment to the team.

Marcus Rashfordsmashed United into an early lead with his 26th goal of the season, but Betis levelled against the run of play when Ayoze Perez fired into the far corner.

It was two of Uniteds most fiercely criticised stars in recent days who made the difference after the break.

Antonycurled a brilliant shot into the top corner beforeBrunoFernandes, who Ten Hag named again as captain, headed inLuke Shaws corner.

Bruno was brilliant today, added Ten Hag. He led the team from the first minute by his game in possession, making the rhythm of the game and scored a goal so I am happy.

Wout Weghorstthen netted just his second goal in 15 appearances for United by pouncing from close range six minutes from time.

Premier League leaders Arsenal were forced to come from behind to salvage a draw in the Portuguese capital.

Despite going for a first league title in 19 years,Mikel Artetanamed a strong side andWilliamSaliba headed the visitors into the lead.

Sporting equalised shortly after in near identical fashion, with Goncalo Inacio heading home Marcus Edwards corner.

Former Tottenham midfielder Edwards then had a role in Sportings second asPaulinhoreacted quickest to finish inside the area.

Arsenal were level just after the hour mark, though, whenGranit Xhakas cross deflected off the unfortunate Hidemasa Morita and rebounded into his own net.

Considering you concede two goals away from home and still escape with a draw you have to take some positives, said Arsenal boss Arteta.

But we gave them too much hope by giving the ball away in our own half too many times.Advantage to Italian giants

Juventus will take a narrow lead to Germany next week after the in-form Angel di Maria scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Freiburg.

Jose Mourinhos Roma are also on course for the last eight after goals fromStephan El Shaarawyand Marash Kumbulla saw off Real Sociedad 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.

Six-time winners Sevilla may be fighting a relegation battle in La Liga, but are always a threat in the Europa League and will take a 2-0 first leg lead over Fenerbahce to Istanbul next week thanks to goals from Joan Jordan andErik Lamela.
