Viking humble Chelsea

Former Manchester United player Erik Nevland was the Viking hero, scoring twice, with his second goal three minutes from the end consigning Chelsea to a humiliating defeat.

John Terry looked to have saved Chelsea when he put them ahead on away goals by making the score 3-2, but then Nevland struck.

The defeat means Italian coach Claudio Ranieri has presided over a ignomous hat-trick of early Uefa Cup exits after losing to Israel's Hapoel Tel Aviv last season and Swiss side St Gallen the year before.

But the Bulgarians rallied, levelling the score at 3-3, only to then go out on the away goals rule.

Fulham had to twice come from behind to get the better of Hajduk Split, with goals from Steve Marlet and a Steed Malbranque penalty ensuring Jean Tigana's side went through 3-2 on aggregate.
