Arsenal avenged Man City’s defeat to Sporting Lisbon with a 5-1 win over the Portuguese giants. For Sporting, this was their first game without former manager Ruben Amorim, who left to take charge of Man United.

Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard put the champions of Portugal to the sword. It was a humbling night for new Sporting coach Tiago Teixeira.

Manchester City, who won this trophy two seasons ago, blew a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Dutch champions Feyenoord. City’s winless streak continues. This means that despite leading 3-0, courtesy of a Gundogan goal and two Erling-Haaland strikes, City faces a battle to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League.

Atalanta beat Young Boys 6-1, and Bayer Leverkusen defeated RB Salzburg 5-0. Not forgetting to mention Atletico Madrid, they spanked Sparta Prague 6-0.Image-1-1
