Four English teams out in 24 hours - what just happened and why?

It was not long ago that fans and pundits were admiring the power of the Premier League.

All six of its clubs competing in the Champions League reached the knockout stages of the competition for the first time.

But across two legs of last-16 action, those suggestions of dominance have been dashed with just two teams - Arsenal and Liverpool - progressing to the quarter-finals.

Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham were all eliminated - the first time four sides from a single nation have gone out at the same stage - having each suffered heavy defeats across their respective ties.
