HNK Rijeka triumphed by the same scoreline to eliminate Standard Liege, meaning Sevilla must avoid defeat in their final round-robin match against the Croatian team to progress.

Everton's Belgium international duo Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas netted on the counter-attack to overturn a largely impressive Wolfsburg 2-0 at the Volkswagen Arena and seal top spot in Group H.

Lille drew 1-1 with bottom side Krasnodar, and Wolfsburg will join Everton in the round of 32 if they can avoid defeat to the Ligue 1 outfit next time out.

Progress was not so emphatic for another of the tournament's fancied teams, Napoli, but a goalless draw at Sparta Prague did the job in Group I.

The top two are level on 10 points but a brace from Yuya Kubo ensured Young Boys Bern beat Slovan Bratislava 3-1 to move to nine, setting up a final week shootout against Sparta.

Inter made returning coach Roberto Mancini sweat for a 50th birthday win as they came from a goal down to beat Dnipro 2-1 and nail down first place in Group F.

Inter skipper Andrea Ranocchia was sent off early in the second half but Pablo Daniel Osvaldo netted a 50th-minute winner for the Serie A team.

A 1-1 draw between St Etienne and Qarabag means the three remaining sides are in contention to qualify alongside Inter.

Dinamo Moscow and Fiorentina were already through from Groups E and K respectively and continued their fine form with 2-1 wins over Panathinakos and Guingamp.

A double inside the last eight minutes by Stefanos Athanasiadis gave PAOK a 2-0 win at Dinamo Minsk and means they will face Guingamp locked together on seven points apiece chasing the spot behind Fiorentina.

Elsewhere in Group E, inclement weather remarkably brought an early end to the game between Estoril and PSV in Portugal with the hosts 3-2 ahead at the interval. That match will resume on Friday.

Besiktas will host Tottenham Hotspur with both teams having qualified from Group C.

First place is still up for grabs after Tottenham beat Partizan 1-0 on a bizarre night at White Hart Lane where three first-half pitch invaders forced the teams to leave the field. Benjamin Stambouli got the winner after the action resumed.

Besiktas must beat Tottenham to take top spot having let a two-goal lead slip in a 2-2 draw at Asteras.
