Fenerbahçe and St-Étienne grabbed the spoils on a weekend of high-profile derbies against fellow UEFA Europa League hopefuls, and there were smiles too for a Manchester United team back on track. The Turkish Cup round of 16 brought a pair of UEFA Europa League sides together in Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, and it was Fener who got the better of their Istanbul neighbours thanks to Robin van Persie's decider in a 1-0 victory.

Roma taste derby delight, Feyenoord find form
Roma's 2-0 victory away to derby rivals Lazio was the stand-out scoreline as the UEFA Europa League teams warmed up for their final group stage outing with weekend domestic games. The Giallorossi needed a win to keep pace with Serie A leaders Juventus and they duly delivered after a balanced first half, Kevin Strootman pouncing on a mistake to lob in on 64 minutes. Lazio midfielder Danilo Cataldi was sent off from the bench shortly after that strike, and Radja Nainggolan made sure of the result late on to keep Roma within four points of the summit.There were seven goals as FeyenoordUEFA.com - News
