  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 73 mins

    Apollon Limassol 0-2 Everton

    Two good chances for Everton!

    First of all Kevin Mirallas skips into the area at the end of a good flowing move, he can't beat Tasos Kissas, and then seconds later Fraser Hornby is popped clear and he too can only hit the legs of the keeper.

    That was a real opening for the teenager.

    More good defending from Morgan Feeney repels a cross from deep on the right. Everton then work the ball wide left and Henry Charsley's cross is a teasing one, Fraser Hornby just gets under the ball!

    That was a chance.

    Well defended Morgan Feeney, who reads a cross from the right and cuts out a dangerous ball. Another centre-half off the Everton production line?

  6. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 59 mins

    Apollon Limassol 0-2 Everton

    Apollon think they have a penalty for handball against Davy Klaassen but referee Seb Delferiere is eagle-eyed to give a free-kick just outside the area. That was a spot-on decision.

    Free-kick...into the wall.

    There are more goals for Everton on the counter here tonight. Twice they spring out with the pace of Kevin Mirallas but on both occasions the final ball is not there.

    Fraser Hornby and Nikola Vlasic then do well to put in Ademola Lookman, for the hat-trick, but it's a tight angle and he can only shoot at Tasos Kissas.

    Free-kick for the hosts, bent in by Nicolas Martinez and Ademola Lookman makes a mess of clearing it and it's away for a corner.

    Everton are under some heavy pressure at the start of the second half with Mo Besic skirting close to the wind again inside the penalty area, before Allan's swerving shot is straight at Joel Robles.

  12. More games at Wembley...published at 18:57 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2017

    Wembley will host seven games at Euro 2020 after Brussels lost the right to host matches for the tournament.

    Belgium's capital city has been ruled out as a planned new stadium is still to be built and Uefa have not received the necessary guarantees.

    Wembley was already scheduled to hold the semi-finals and final but will now also host three group games and a last 16 tie.

    Cardiff and Stockholm had also been in contention to host the extra games.

    England's national stadium is one of 12 venues across Europe hosting Euro 2020 games.

    Jack Wilshere has had numerous injury problems during his Arsenal career and has not started a Premier League match for the Gunners since the last match of the 2015-16 season.

    He spent the last campaign on loan at Bournemouth in an attempt to get regular match action but has only played 65 minutes of Premier League football this season.

    On Tuesday, Wilshere posted a picture on Twitter of him ice skating with his family, but Arsene Wenger has warned the 25-year-old England midfielder to be careful.

    "It is not ideal for your balance, the way you fall down, for a footballer it's not great," said the Frenchman.

    "You can do ice skating by bringing your child on and just making sure nothing happens to him, or [you can do] ice skating violently. I don't think he did that."

  14. Europa League latestpublished at 18:53 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2017

    It is all looking good for Dinamo Kiev, who are 3-0 up against Partizan Belgrade. Top spot in Group B beckons. Ribeiro Moraes Junior has scored twice for Kiev following Mykola Morozyuk's opener.

    Istanbul Basaksehir lead 1-0 at Braga, a result which currently sees them going through in Group C, with Ludogorets trailing 1-0 at Hoffenheim.

    AC Milan are still trailing by a single goal at HNK Rijeka, but the Italian side are already through.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:46 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2017

    Everton survive a penalty appeal as Mo Besic goes skiing into a tackle - and that's half-time.

    Limassol skipper Fotis Papoulis looks a decent player and he again wriggles into the area and gets a shot away. At the other end Morgan Schneiderlin plays a cracking ball to cut them apart but Nikola Vlasic's cross is cut out.

    Nikola Vlasic holds station wide on the right and Kevin Mirallas eventually finds him, his low shot is well saved by Tasos Kissas. We've had plenty of efforts on goal tonight.

    Apollon still pushing hard for the next goal, which could turn this game yet. It's been a pretty even game but two good finishes from Ademola Lookman separate the sides.
