RB Leipzig have beat Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 thanks to a stunning 'trivela' from Marcel Sabitzer - think Benjamin Pavard at the World Cup.
That sends them top of Group G, temporarily at least. Lyon could go top if they beat Benfica shortly.

FT: Ajax 0-1 Chelsea
Matt Upson
Former England and West Ham defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's a brilliant result for Chelsea and you have to say, it's thoroughly deserved, not just because of the attitude and application of the players but in the balance of play.
They had a lot of opportunities, especially Hudson-Odoi in the first half, and again in the second for Batshuayi.

Khan Karn: How Lovren starts over Gomez is beyond me. Gomez has potential to be England's best CB. Also with Milner playing so well why does he not get a start in his preferred position. On form the best midfielder for Liverpool.

Ajax 0-1 Chelsea
Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Michy Batshuayi has scored nine goals as a substitute for Chelsea - four more than any other Blues player.
He could have another here but his shot is pushed away.

Ajax 0-1 Chelsea
Ajax haven't lost a game since Spurs nicked it here in May. Reece James comes on for Chelsea in place of Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Shut it up!

Matt Upson
Former England and West Ham defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou feel there had to be a goal in this match. It was dying a bit of a death. The sting had gone out of it. Both teams had given so much.
But it was that piece of quality by Pulisic. He had the pace and the energy to go past someone, get to the byline and cut it back. And it's a tidy finish, I have to say.

Ajax roll the dice and send on Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Siem de Jong. May as well now.
GOAL - Ajax 0-1 Chelseapublished at 86 mins
Michy Batshuayi
Never in doubt!
A proper bit of predatory striking as Christian Pulisic does brilliantly to skip into the area and pull the ball back across the six-yard box. Marcos Alonso steps over the ball and Michy Batshuayi, who missed that sitter a little earlier on, rifles in off the underside of the bar!
Ajax hate late goals against English sides...

Kurt Zouma runs into trouble and loses the ball to Donny van de Beek, Zouma has to stretch and smashes Hakim Ziyech to the floor.
Dusan Tadic can't find a pass on the break and Zouma gets a yellow card.

Lewis Starks: A ball has just landed in my garden but it is too dark for it to be kids playing in the back garden at this time - Any ideas where it could have come from?
