Uefa Cup round-up: David Moyes and Juande Ramos saw their Everton and Tottenham sides tumble out of the Uefa Cup in heartbreaking fashion after a dramatic penalty shoot-outs.
Fiorentina, who had led 2-0 from the first leg, went through to the quarter-finals after winning the spot-kick showdown 4-2 against Everton, following misses from Yakubu and Phil Jagielka.
It was cruel luck on Everton, who had battled back to forced extra-time thanks to goals from Andrew Johnson and Mikel Arteta.

Ramos has endured a few scares winning the competition with Sevilla in the past two seasons - goalkeeper Andres Palop scored at this stage a year ago - and this time Berbatov came to his rescue to force extra-time.
His ferocious drive cancelled out PSV's advantage from the first leg before the shoot-out, with PSV earning a place in the quarter-finals after Jermaine Jenas and Pascal Chimbonda failed from the spot.
