BERLIN, Germany: Premier League strugglers, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs), stayed alive in the Europa League by advancing into the quarter finals.

Captain Bruno Fernandes converted two penalties and completed a hat-trick from open play as United came from behind to beat 10-man Real Sociedad 4-1 on the night and 5-2 on aggregate, reported German news agency dpa.

The Spanish visitors had led early from the first penalty at Old Trafford converted by Mikel Oyarzabal, but their comeback hopes ended in a red card for substitute Jon Aramburu for last man foul on Patrick Dorgu.

Diogo Dalot got the final United goal.

Spurs overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit against AZ Alkmaar with a 3-1 home win over their Dutch opponents from Wilson Odobert’s brace and James Maddison.

They next face 2022 champions Eintracht Frankfurt who completed a 6-1 aggregate success over Ajax with a 4-1 home win which included a brace from German 2014 World Cup hero Mario Götze.
