EUROPA LEAGUE:

Sherwood publicly criticised his players after Saturday’s embarrassing 4-0 defeat to rivals Chelsea, which midfielder Sandro revealed led to a furious two-hour crisis meeting at Stamford Bridge.

However, there was to be no morale-boosting response in this last-16 tie against Benfica, who ran out 3-1 victors to make them overwhelming favourites to progress ahead of next week’s second leg.
