Pilots will have to take the responsibiilty for this but it does look like an accident waiting to happen. two runways separated only by 200m. the grey strip on the left ( 04L) could be (was?) mistaken for the taxiway since there is no separate parallel taxiway. Presumably the approach lighting for both runways was not on.

I think Easyjets statement maintains the finest traditions of PR guff.
"aircraft landed safely and routinely". " at no point was the safety of the aircraft or passengers compromised".
