Mixed Euro results for Brit teams

Everton were big winners in the Europa League qualifying round, beating Sigma Olomouc 4-0.

Jack Rodwell and Louis Saha each bagged two goals against the team from the Czech Republic, virtually putting Everton into the group stage.

Fulham were also winners, beating Amkar Perm from Russia 3-1 at Craven Cottage.
But the news wasn't so good for fans of Aston Villa or Hearts. Villa lost 1-0 to Rapid Vienna while Hearts were thumped 4-0 by Dinamo Zagreb.

That result will make it very difficult for Hearts to make it into the group stages, but Villa and Fulham will be hopeful of making it through.

Villa's narrow defeat was in Austria, so they have the return leg to come to overcome the 1-0 defeat.

Fulham have the advantage going to Russia for the second leg, but the goal they conceded means the Amkar Perm only need to win 2-0 to go through.

The London side will also be without striker Andy Johnson, as he dislocated a collarbone in the win, and will be injured for around eight weeks.
