There was little doubt where the most dramatic game of the evening came, Liverpool twice recovering a two-goal deficit on the night to eliminate Borussia Dortmund thanks to Dejan Lovren's winner in added time.

There were no such concerns for Shakhtar Donetsk or Villarreal, who both scored four on Thursday to secure aggregate triumphs over Braga and Sparta Praha respectively.
