Arsenal would have been delighted to draw Monaco in the last 16 but imploded in a 3-1 defeat in the first leg in London, a spirited 2-0 victory in the Principality proving insufficient to stop the Ligue 1 team advancing on away goals.

At least Chelsea and Arsenal survived the group stage.

Liverpool, Premier League runners-up behind Manchester City last season, failed to get to the knockout stages, finishing third in a group behind Real Madrid and Swiss champions Basel.

All of which left Everton as the only English side left in European competition this season.

They take a 2-1 lead to Dynamo Kiev in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 clash on Thursday.

But however far Roberto Martinez's team go in the second-tier competition, it has been a chastening season for the Premier League abroad.
