Graham Potter's Ostersunds (with 3 Englishmen) dump Galatasaray out of Europa League

Graham Potter's Ostersunds have dumped Turkish giants Galatasaray out of the Europa League.

Leading 2-0 from last week's first leg the Swedes, managed by Englishman Potter, secured a 1-1 draw in Istanbul to progress 3-1 on aggregate.

The victory marks a remarkable debut for the club in European competition, having been formed only 21 years ago.

The Swedes - who boast three English players Jamie Hopcutt, Curtis Edwards and Andrew Mills as well as their English manager - will now face Luxembourg's Fola Esch in the third qualifying round, which begins later this month.

Former England U21 coach Potter enjoyed a journeyman playing career in England, including spells with Stoke City and Southampton.
