Europa League: Round of 32 first legs - in pictures

Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Olympique Lyonnais At White Hart Lane it was a case of the Gareth Bale show again as he gave the home side the lead on the stroke of half-time with another wonderful free-kick from 35 yards out, which swooshed, dipped and bounced just inside the left-hand post. Samuel Umtiti equalised around the hour mark with a spectacular goal of his own - a technically perfect half-volley from the edge of the box Photograph: Dylan Martinez/Reuters

It looked like it was a case of honours even until deep in injury time when Spurs got another free-kick, this time 25 yards out. Up stepped Bale again ... Photograph: Paul Gilham/Getty Images

And despite hitting it more central, the power of the shot took it through the top of the wall and fizzed past Vercoutre and into the net. This brace means that all of Tottenham's last 6 goals have come from the boot, or head, or Gareth Bale. That's some purple patch he's in at the moment Photograph: Dylan Martinez/Reuters

Finally, Zenit's Hulk opened the scoring in the 69th minute with a very fine finish where he took a step and lashed a swerving foot high into the roof of the net from 25 yards out. Just three minutes later Zenit's lead is doubled when a raking, curling cross from the right eludes Martin Škrtel and makes it way through to the back post where the substitute Sergei Semak steers it into the net Photograph: Kirill Kudryavtsev/AFP/Getty Images

Newcastle United 0-0 FC Metalist Kharkiv The most influential person on the pitch was a linesman who twice flagged for offside to disallow two Papiss Cisse strikes. Above is his second goal when he half-volleyed the ball home. Photograph: Stu Forster/Getty Images

There's even more dispair for Cisse in the last minute as he fluffs a surefire winner when he puts a free header straight into the arms of Metalist goalkeeper Olexandr Goryainov Photograph: Stu Forster/Getty Images
