Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham have been dogged by the label "Spursy" for years - a term used to describe the club's habit of letting leads slip or choking.

Jose Mourinho even mentioned the word at his pre-match news conference on Wednesday after he was asked about his side's defensive implosion against West Ham last weekend.

Spurs were forced to settle for a point after leading 3-0.

"We can play 50 more matches and it's not going to happen again," said Mourinho.

"I don't want to be sticking on this. No stories about 'Spursy' and this kind of thing. We just need to defend better from set-pieces."

So far, so impressive from Steven Gerrard's side who lead in Belgium. The hosts did hit the bar right at the end of that half but it would not have counted - handball.

Follow that game in full over here.

Encouraging applause from the 3,000 fans inside the ground as the referee blows for half-time. The hosts are standing toe-to-toe with the Gunners.

Arsenal have work to do in the second half.

They're not moving the ball around quick enough and they've only managed one attempt on target.

Blimey - Dundalk lead!

The League of Ireland champions have already earned an estimated £2.7m for reaching this stage. And now they have gone ahead thanks to a goal from Sean Murray.

Three-one to Arsenal in yellow cards.

The game is stopped to allow Bukayo Saka to receive treatment but he's back on his feet after treatment.

Rapid Vienna carve out another chance when Ercan Kara cleverly turns David Luiz in the box before rolling his effort narrowly wide.

Roma are losing in Switzerland as an early penalty has Young Boys ahead, while Bayer Leverkusen are 2-1 up on Nice. Which is nice.

The highly-rated Amine Gouiri has got one back for the French side.

Another Arsenal booking.

Eddie Nketiah is the latest to get into trouble with the referee for kicking the ball away.

I love Nketiah but that was silly.

A rare save!

Bernd Leno is forced into action by Taxiarchis Fountas but it's comfortable for the keeper.

Arsenal haven't got going. I imagine Mikel Arteta won't be mincing his words at half-time.

It's not quite clicking for the Gunners.

Loads of effort, loads of possession. Just one effort on target so far.

It's a frustrating night so far for Alexandre Lacazette.

He's yet to have a shot and now he's been booked for bringing down Ercan Kara.

The Gunners skipper protests but the referee is having none of it.

A beautiful delivery by Cedric Soares into the danger area but Alexandre Lacazette cannot connect.

Arsenal are getting some decent crosses in but they are struggling to test keeper Richard Strebinger.

It's all going pretty well for Rangers of late. They have the lead at Standard Liege thanks to James Tavernier's penalty in the 19th minute after Noe Dussenne handled in the area.

Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen are 2-0 up against Nice and it's now 1-1 between Lech Poznan and Benfica, after the Portuguese side scored first.

Thomas Partey's stats so far:

24 touches.

21 passes.

1 shot.

1 tackle.

Busy.

It sounds like there's 50,000 in the ground as Marcel Ritzmaier forces Bernd Leno into his first save after a free-flowing move from the hosts.

It's comfortable for Leno in the end but that could have been disaster for the Gunners after they were opened up at the back.

Pizzi has scored the first goal of the 2020-21 group stage with a penalty for Benfica at Polish side Lech Poznan.

Elsewhere in the early kick-offs, German side Bayer Leverkusen - winners in 1988 when it was called the Uefa Cup - host Nice, PSV face Granada and Napoli are playing AZ Alkmaar.

Rapid Vienna are well organised but Srdjan Grahovac lunges into Nicolas Pepe. Arsenal have a free-kick and Grahovac has a yellow card.

From the set-piece, David Luiz forces the first serious save of the match after climbing above the home defence.

The Gunners are warming to this.
