Bobby Robson's Newcastle moved into a semi-final clash with French side Marseille after a 2-1 win, and 3-2 aggregate score, against his old club PSV Eindhoven at St James' Park.

However, Celtic's dream of a reaching a second successive UEFA Cup final were shattered by Villarreal who added a 2-0 win to the 1-1 draw they clinched in Glasgow last week.

Villarreal's reward is an all-Spanish last four clash against Valencia who knocked out Bordeaux.

Both Newcastle goals came from headers from former England skipper Alan Shearer, in the ninth minute, and Welsh international Gary Speed, after 66 minutes, with PSV pulling one back from a Mateja Kezman penalty.

"It was a classic Shearer goal and Gary, brave as a lion, has been leaping like that at both ends, full of courage, all his career. It was a goal worthy of winning any match," said Robson.

Goals from Brazilian striker Sonny Anderson and Roger Garcia helped Villareal progress 3-1 on aggregate at the expense of Celtic.

"It is a big loss. We thought we could have got through but it was not to be. They played well at Celtic Park but we lost some bad goals," said Celtic captain Jackie McNamara.

Anderson headed the opening goal after just six minutes when he outpaced his marker Bobo Balde and connected with a long cross from out by the right touch line from his Brazilian compatriot Belletti for his sixth goal in this season's competition. Villarreal, the Intertoto Cup winners, made sure of their place in the last four when Roger Garcia hit a superb volley from just inside the box after 68 minutes.

French first division side Marseille defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the second leg of their quarter-final at the San Siro to seal a 2-0 aggregate win.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Marseille were second best to Inter in a passionate tie before Camel Meriem's angled shot 16 minutes from time rolled in off the post to oust the Italians from the competition they won three times in the 1990s.

Defeat for Inter left Italy without a representative in European competition following the exit of neighbours AC Milan from the Champions League last week.

Inter coach Alberto Zaccheroni criticised his players for giving away possession to Marseilles in the build up to the match-winning goal when second-half substitute Alvaro Recoba woefully wasted a free-kick.

"Marseille rarely threatened us and their goal came from the only clear-cut opportunity they had," he said.

"We left ourselves open to the counter-attack and should have been in control as we had more players in that area of the pitch than they did.

"We made a mistake from our own set-piece at the other end of the field and that cost us dearly."

Valencia beat Bordeaux 2-1 to clinch a 4-2 aggregate win and guarantee Spanish representation in the final in Gothenburg on May 19.

Second-half goals from Francisco Rufete, who also scored in the first leg, and Argentinian defender Mauricio Pellegrino gave Valencia, the Spanish league leaders, the edge before Paulo Costa pulled one back late in the game for the French side.
