That was a sensational goal.
From Bruno Fernandes making his touchline run at exactly the right time, Noussair Mazraoui's pass into space, then Alejandro Garnacho's disguised run onto the cut-back and his pass to Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguay midfielder had all the time in the world to pick his spot.
Manchester United have been rightly criticised this season but credit where it is due. That was excellent.

This is just the start Ruben Amorim demanded.
Manchester United have scored from their first attempt.
It's timed at 09:53 minutes...a very bright start by the Red Devils.

What's Polish for 'remontada'? Well, Google translate says it is powrót.
And the goal has come from the penalty spot after Filip Jorgensen brought down striker Tomas Pekhart.
It was a rush of blood to the head from the goalkeeper who should have also saved a poor penalty.
Oh, the entire away end of 1021 fans have taken their tops off in celebration.

What a wonderful start from Man Utd.
Alejandro Garnacho's first touch takes it around the Lyon defenders and he cuts it back for Manuel Ugarte who strokes it home into an empty net.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham (1-1 agg)
James Maddison finds Destiny Udogie wide left with a nice ball. He then beats his man and looks to cut back a cross but it's pretty poor.

Chelsea 0-1 Legia Warsaw (3-1 agg)
Legia have looked decent tonight. They're stringing together some good passing moves and have been aggressive, trying to get through Chelsea.
The visitors have played much better than in the first leg.

Robin Koch is fine to carry on as Spurs knock it about nicely while in their green camo-style kit.

Tomas Pekhart (10 mins)
It's the man who won the penalty who steps up to take it and beats Filip Jorgensen... just about.
The Danish Chelsea goalkeeper gets his hands to Tomas Pekhart's effort, but there's significant power before his strike Jorgensen can't keep it out.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham (1-1 agg)
Hugo Ekitike is a very tidy player. He finds a team-mate with a nice pass out wide but the attack comes to nothing.
We've now got a stoppage in play as Dominic Solanke gives Robin Koch a bit of a whack.

Manuel Ugarte
Lift-off at Old Trafford!
That's a wonderful team goal and Alejandro Garnacho is at the heart of it.
The Argentine produces a lovely touch while on the move inside the box before pulling it back into the path of the unmarked Manuel Ugarte who tucks home.
United's fans certainly enjoyed that!

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham
Sami Mokbel
BBC Sport Senior football correspondent in Frankfurt
It is LOUD in here!
The locals promised a raucous atmosphere and they are delivering. Their team have started positively too - Eintracht already forcing Guglielmo Vicario into two - albeit comfortable - saves.
Tottenham need to get control of the ball and quell this crowd down - even to save my eardrums at least.

Man Utd 0-0 Lyon (agg 2-2)
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old Trafford
Both sides have played neatly through the press and managed to open up the opposition midfield.
Leny Yoro has had a couple of forward runs that threatened the Lyon defence.
Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes have both been guilty of being shoved off the ball too easily by visiting defenders but largely it has been an enterprising start.

Man Utd 0-0 Lyon (agg 2-2)
A long punt forward by Harry Maguire and Alejandro Garnacho chases it down but is then robbed of possession by Jordan Veretout.
Moments later, United win the game's first corner. Bruno Fernandes is going to take it but there's a delay after Paul Akouokou goes down inside the box.

Nicolas Jackson flicks on an aerial ball and it's knocked back towards Christopher Nkunku by Reece James.
The ball is slightly behind Nkunku and his miscued shot is saved by Vladan Kovacevic.
Cole Palmer tries to head in the rebound but it's palmed away.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham (1-1 agg)
Eintracht Frankfurt's corner is cleared only to Mario Gotze on the edge of the box. He has a go and it zips off the turf and into the hands of Guglielmo Vicario.
That wasn't as easy as it looks given the amount of rain there's been.

Chelsea 0-0 Legia Warsaw (3-0 agg)
Nizaar Kinsella
BBC Sport football news reporter
Chelsea have picked a very strong starting XI despite being 3-0 up from the first leg against an inferior Legia Warsaw side.
They have particular issues in attack. Cole Palmer is on a 14-game goalless run, Nicolas Jackson is without a goal in 11 games and Christopher Nkunku hasn't scored in seven games.
There is hope after Jadon Sancho ended his four-month goal drought against Ipswich on Sunday.
Or, perhaps, manager Enzo Maresca is really fearing a comeback from the Polish side. What's Polish for 'remontada'?
