Tottenham survived a scare from Belgian side Anderlecht as they ran out 2-1 winners at White Heart Lane, thanks to a superb late strike from Mousa Dembele. Clearly heartened by taking three points off Spurs at home, the Belgians should have probably been ahead inside four minutes, but Jan Vertonghen recovered well to make a crucial tackle on striker Stefano Okaka inside the six-yard box, before Steven Defour also went close.

Liverpool endured a frustrating evening at Anfield as they were held to a 1-1  draw by Swiss side FC Sion in Group B. The pressure on Brendan Rodgers will surely increase as his side now have only two points from their opening two games, in a group they were surely favourites to win when the draw was made. It started well for the Reds, as Adam Lallana scored his second goal of the competition after good work from Divock Origi on the...

Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping his Tottenham side can build on Saturday’s surprising 4-1 win over Manchester City by claiming another scalp in the shape of AS Monaco. The Premier League side ate on a good run of form having won four of their five matches in September, including a 3-1 win over Qarabag in the first game in this tournament. Their opponents, who drew 1-1 at Anderlecht in their opener, have made a poor start to their...

Celtic and Liverpool began their Europa League campaigns with a point apiece away from home, while, in North London, Tottenham received a scare from Azerbaijani side Qarabag before running out comfortable 3-1 winners. Liverpool travelled to Bordeaux without a number of first-team regulars, including Christian Benteke and James Milner, but Brazilian Philippe Coutinho returned to the starting line-up, and went close inside eight minutes...

Eyebrows were raised when Manchester United splashed out £36 million on Monaco forward Anthony Martial in the aftermath of their 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Sunday. The 19-year old Frenchman is a relative unknown quantity having made just 52 top-flight league appearances in his fledgling career, and the move is certainly one of the most intriguing transfers to have gone through this summer. Now the most expensive teenager in the...
