Liverpool hammered Sparta Prague 6-1 on Thursday to storm into the Europa League quarter finals 11-2 on aggregate while Bayer Leverkusen staged a dramatic turnaround to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Qarabag.

Liverpool were 4-0 up within 14 minutes thanks to goals by Darwin Nunez, Bobby Clark, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.

Serbian striker Veljko Birmancevic pulled one back for the visitors before the break, but Liverpool continued to dominate with Gakpo adding another and Dominik Szoboszlai
adding the sixth.

“It was on us to decide how good a game it would be and obviously we enjoyed playing football, some fantastic goals as well early on,” Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said.

Leverkusen secured a 3-2 home victory over Azerbaijani team Qarabag, with Patrik Schick’s stoppage-time brace ensuring a 5-4 aggregate win. A 3-1 win over Slavia Prague gave AC Milan an aggregate 7-3 victory.
