Roberto Martinez insisted Everton had to take collective responsibility for their Europa League embarrassment as he defended his team selection . Everton endured a night of humiliation against Dynamo Kiev and tumbled out after a 5-2 defeat ( 6-4 on aggregate ) in the Olympic Stadium . Their performance was stained by defensive mistakes , with Antolin Alcaraz particularly culpable . This was a night comparable to how Everton folded against Dinamo Bucharest ( 2005 ) and Benfica ( 2009 ) when they also conceded five times . Everton 's Ross Barkley and James McCarthy ( right ) look miserable during the painful defeat . It made Martinez 's decision not to start John Stones puzzling but the Everton manager maintained there was only a slight difference between the two teams and it was Kiev 's superior finishing that meant they reached the quarter-finals . 'We did make some defensive mistakes but also there was some incredible finishing and sometimes you have to highlight the quality of that , ' said Martinez . 'It is only natural and normal from the outside to look back , and I do not regret playing Alcaraz - the defence has been strong in the last two games . Everton 's Phil Jagielka , Tim Howard and Leighton Baines look dejected after Dynamo Kiev score their third . 'We conceded only one goal from a corner in the first leg and kept a clean sheet against Newcastle on Sunday , although we did not adapt too well to the pitch . 'But it is a case of the whole team not defending well enough . I do not think it is down to the personnel , but as a team . Dynamo built a lot of momentum with their crowd rather than us being to blame . ' Everton got back into the tie when Romelu Lukaku equalised Andrei Yarmolenko 's opener but they fell asunder afterwards and Phil Jagielka 's late header provided no solace . Martinez , though , was pleased that Everton kept searching for goal . Lukaku and Ross Barkley both look out of sorts as Everton crash out of Europe . ' I am looking at the effort and the way we gave up , ' said Martinez . 'We tried everything to stay in the tie but the way it unfolded was down to one team taking most of their chances . 'Sometimes the margins are so small and part of the experience in this competition is learning how to play the second leg . Gareth Barry looks at the ground in disappointment as Everton crashed out of the Europa League . Roberto Martinez and substitute Leon Osman remonstrate with the fourth official Christoph Bornhorst . 'Both teams created a lot of chances and the difference was one team taking them . After the away goal I thought we would be tighter but it looked like they had a lot of belief and always looked a threat and like they could score a goal . The type of game it was there were opportunities for both teams . '
Everton were beaten 5-2 by Dynamo Kiev in the Olympic Stadium . The Toffees lost 6-4 on aggregate and leave no English side left in the last eight of European competitions for the first time since 1993 . TL;DR Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-0 to move into second place with two games remaining after their Champions League win over Bayern Munich.
