Real Sociedad 0-2 Man United

The goal stands!

After a fair wait for a verdict, Bruno Fernandes is awarded his second of the night and Manchester United are in control.

A corner to the Austrian side now. That penalty has filled them with confidence.

Nicolae Stanciu fires a free-kick over the wall for Slavia Prague but it's straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

Leicester haven't really got going after the break.

Spurs have an instant chance to restore their three-goal lead but Lucas Moura shoots over from a free-kick out wide on the left.

Spurs have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 games in all competitions.

Ah, David Silva would have enjoyed seeing that fly into the net!

The former Manchester City midfielder arrives in the box to meet a cut-back but the ball is just behind him and he can't make a decent connection with his shot.

Sociedad have looked lively since the restart.

Moussa Sissoko completely messes up and Wolfsberger have a penalty. He's sloppy in possession, Christopher Wernitznig nicks the ball off him and Sissoko brings him down.

Leicester having to do a bit of defending early in the second half...

Arsenal

Arsenal clearly mean business in the Europa League. They are unchanged from the 4-2 win over Leeds in the Premier League on Sunday.

So Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues up top, supported on the sides by Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe. Martin Odegaard at number 10.

Some familiar names in the Benfica side. At the back, ex-Tottenham defender and former Man City centre-back Nicolas Otamendi are two-thirds of the back three.

And yes, that is the enigmatic Adel Taarabt in midfield.

Forwards Darwin Nunez, Pizzi and Luca Waldschmidt have 31 goals between this this season.

Gareth Bale almost scores his second goal of the night but his low shot is saved by a diving Alexander Kofler.

Brendan Rodgers has seen his sides lose, and fail to score, in each of his previous four away games in the knockout stages of the Europa League (2 with Liverpool, 2 with Celtic)

It's been all Spurs in the opening five minutes of the second half. The Austrian side are penned in.

United come under pressure at the start of the second half.

It's good defending by Harry Maguire, who reacts quickly to prevent a low ball into the box reaching Sociedad striker Alexander Isak.

Spurs brought on Carlos Vinicius for Son Heung-min at half-time. Job done?

Wolfsberger made two subs as well.

Only one of Manchester United's five shots on target in the first half wasn't recorded by a shot or a chance created by Bruno Fernandes.

He's some influence, isn't he.

Away we go again!

Spurs are the first English team to score 3+ goals in three consecutive away Uefa Cup/Europa League matches.

We'll be turning our attention to Arsenal's meeting with Benfica following these early games.
