It was an excellent night for Barclays Premier League sides in the Champions League.
Draws for both Manchester United and Chelsea were enough to secure places in the Champions League group stages.
Antonio Valencia's deflected strike saw United move into the knock-out stages after a 3-3 draw with CSKA Moscow.
With only a point needed to seal a top two berth in Group B, last year's runners-up came from 3-1 down to deny the Russians a famous win at Old Trafford.
Fine strikes from Alan Dzagoev and Milos Krasic within six first-half minutes sandwiched Michael Owen's equaliser, and with Wayne Rooney watching on from the United bench, Igor Berezutski nooded home a third for CSKA early in the second half.
Paul Scholes' header got United back in the match with six minutes remaining but it was not until Valencia's deflected shot from distance crept past Igor Akinfeev in injury-time that United's progression was secured.
second goal
Chelsea booked their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League after recording a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.
Sergio Aguero gave Atletico the lead in the 66th minute, but Didier Drogba - on his return to European action following suspension - netted twice in the last eight minutes to seemingly earn Chelsea the win.
It was not to be as Aguero struck his second goal from a free-kick in injury-time to earn Atletico a draw, but Chelsea are still assured of a place in the knockout stages courtesy of Porto's win over Apoel Nicosia.
