Terrific work from Sancho. It was a great cross. Nobody of a Aston Villa persuasion attacks it.

Aston Villa 0-0 Maccabi Tel Aviv
Huge let-off for Villa. Maccabi should be ahead.
Roy Revivo squares the ball for captain Dor Peretz, six yards out, but he shoots straight at Emiliano Martinez when he had half an empty goal to shoot into.

It gets worse for Rangers because Roma have doubled their lead.
An inch-perfect ball finds Artem Dovbyk and the big striker turns and lays off for Lorenzo Pellegrini to curl in a low finish into the far corner.
Meanwhile, ex-Manchester United forward Antony is a player in form right now as he gets his fifth goal in his last five appearances in all competitions with a lovely lofted finish to extend Real Betis lead over Lyon to 2-0.

Crystal Palace 1-0 AZ Alkmaar
After a frantic passage of play, this has settled down. Palace will be pleased to head into half-time with this lead and come out for the second half looking to build on it.
'Rogers unfortunate not to get a shot off'published at 20:40 GMT 6 November
Aston Villa 0-0 Maccabi Tel Aviv
Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsWhen Rogers gets going he makes the game look easy. It's a little bit of quality. The run through was strong. A bit of skill but he bumbled a way through the last bit and is unfortunate not to get a shot on goal.

Aston Villa 0-0 Maccabi Tel Aviv
Villa's most positive spell of the game by miles. A bit of pinball in the box and Donyell Malen's shot from an angle is saved by the keeper.

Morgan Rogers almost provides it as he runs into the box and rides a few tackles - it's fantastic play - but then he can't get a proper shot in.
Seconds later he shoots over from 18 yards.

Palace (nowadays) can cope with strong opposition, extra games and being a top ten, cup-winning side. One thing they do struggle with is expectation.

Crystal Palace 1-0 AZ Alkmaar

Noy goes down holding his face and the referee waits patiently for him to get up - so he can show him the yellow card.
