PSV Eindhoven 0-1 Sevilla
Just before that goal for Lens, Sevilla took the lead in Eindhoven thanks to centre-back Nemanja Gudelj. That's the other match in Group B.

Lens 2-1 Arsenal
Mikel Arteta makes some changes.
Reiss Nelson, Ben White and Emile Smith Rowe are on. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz all come off for Arsenal.

Arteta is the least adaptable manager in existence. Why did he get Nelson to sign a new contract just to leave him to rot on the bench even when players are injured? Why is he risking key players before the City game? He doesn't trust the squad and the lack of confidence shows with the players down the line.

Image source, Getty ImagesDavison Sanchez was unlucky then. He slipped on the sodden Old Trafford surface at just the wrong time.
But once he had, there wasn't much doubt about the outcome.
Rasmus Hojlund had the pace to get in front of his marker, the stamina to maintain the advantage into the box and then the calmness to deliver the deftest of finishes.

Former Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveSergio Oliviera has come on for Galatasaray to firm things up and he has let one loose.
Rasmus Hojlund has sniffed one out, the pace to burn off the defender and to dink the goalkeeper, it is wonderful. A fantastic goal for Manchester United.

Elye Wahi (69 mins)
An assist in the first half and now a goal for Elye Wahi.
It's another excellent finish as he wraps his foot around the ball and strokes it first-time into the bottom left corner after a decent cross from Przemyslaw Frankowski.
Arsenal are behind in France!

Lens 1-1 Arsenal
Goalkeeper Brice Samba makes a big reaction save to deny Takehiro Tomiyasu from an Arsenal corner.
Tomiyasu's connection was powerful and clean but it was straight at him.

Rasmus Hojlund

Wonderful from Rasmus Hojlund as he uses his pace and power to hold off an opponent before firing United into the lead in front of the Stretford End.
It all started after a slip by Davinson Sanchez who lost his footing on the slippery surface.

Lens 1-1 Arsenal
Not far away at all!
Gabriel is out of position when he's given a loose pass in Lens' half.
The hosts take advantage and it's fizzed into Salis Abdul Samed's feet in the box.
He strikes it well but it ripples the side-netting.
