PARIS: Olympiakos dumped AC Milan out of the Europa League on Thursday (Dec 13) after beating the seven-time European champions 3-1 in a pulsating clash in Greece, while Eintracht Frankfurt fans ran riot during the German side's win at Lazio and Celtic made the knockout stages despite losing to Salzburg at Celtic Park. Captain Kostas Fortounis' penalty nine minutes from time saw the Greeks move into second place in Group F ahead of Gennaro Gattuso's Milan, who thought they had squeaked through when Cristian Zapata had pulled a goal back less than two minutes after putting the hosts 2-0 up with a comical own goal. Olympiakos finished level on 10 points with Milan but qualified ahead of the Italians thanks to their superior goal difference following Milan's 3-1 win over the Greeks in October, and they end the group stage two points behind group winners Real Betis, who drew 0-0 at Dudelange. "It's a bitter night ... We shouldn't have conceded the first goal and it all went south … [Read more...] about Football: AC Milan out of Europe as Eintracht fans run riot at Lazio

LONDON: The pound enjoyed a rebound on Wednesday (Nov 28) after the British government released a number of post-Brexit economic scenarios that, although dismal, still look better than what markets had been expecting, dealers said. They said London's assessment that the UK will be worse off outside the EU than inside hardly came as a surprise, but its predictions of lost economic growth were actually more optimistic than many had feared.
