Everton were the second big name casualty after being outclassed in Italy. Tim Howard pulled off some impressive saves in the first half but an under-par Everton eventually succumbed to two classy goals from Fiorentina’s Kuzmanovic and Montolivo.

Bolton’s unexpected European adventure was still on course after Gavin McCann’s opener at the Reebok but a second half equaliser from Sporting Lisbon Vukcevic means they will have to replicate their impressive away form if they want to go any further.
