Highlights

End of 2nd Half

FULL TIME

Romelu Lukaku scored for a record-breaking ninth consecutive Europa League match as Inter Milan secured their place in the semi-finals with a dramatic 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Inter could have perhaps should have won that game three times over but VAR denied them two penalties, while Leverkusen shotstopper Hradecky was in incredible form.

But the job IS done and they are in the final four.

Leverkusen's long season is finally over but the future of Havertz - linked heavily with Chelsea - remains very much in doubt.

90+6'

Inter could have won this game three or four times over but some how Leverkusen are still in this.

Lukaku has the ball in the net but is ruled to have fouled. Didn't look like much to me.

90+3'

We are three minutes into SIX minutes of stoppage time.

Yellow for Barella!

Young the latest to be brought down.

Lukaku is struggling and has his arms on the ref's shoulders.

Sanchez finds Lukaku down the left but Tapsoba does just enough to shepherd him wide.

83'

Havertz, heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, may be playing his final 10 minutes in a Leverkusen shirt.

Unless they can salvage something...

80'

Lukaku is down now and the medics are on.

The Leverkusen staff are not impressed.

And sure enough, he's up and running again.

80'

So close to an equaliser but nobody can get a foot on Bailey's beautiful ball in.

79'

Moses, Sanchez, Lukaku, Young.

Inter look like some 2017 Premier League all-star side.

They're holding out for now, but I'm expecting an onslaught from the German outfit in the final 10 minutes.

77'

ANOTHER SAVE!

Victor Moses is the latest to challenge Hradecky with a palm stinger.

76'

Inter are peppering the Leverkusen goal now. Blocks everywhere.

Sanchez is down now, winded by Demirbay's challenge.

73'

Lars Bender clashes with Barella and it's a pretty nasty collision.

On come the medics.

He's going to battle on.
