FC Copenhagen 2-2 Man Utd

Have United won a penalty?

They are appealing for a penalty for a handball against Lukas Lerager.

The referee is looking at it on the pitchside monitor.

Leandro Trossard plays a one-two with Bukayo Saka. Some in the crowd think Saka's shirt is being pulled in the box but the referee isn't interested.

Rasmus Hojlund is down after a challenge by Denis Vavro who has already been booked. Play goes on.

Lucas Ocampos has been on for about 10 seconds and now he's booked. He leaves a late one in on Gabriel Martinelli.

Another change for Sevilla as Lucas Ocampos is on as Arsenal continue to dominate in north London.

The hosts have sent on 17-year-old midfielder Roony Bardghji for Mohamed Elyounoussi. Imagine the scenes in Copenhagen if he scores!

Superb block inside his own box by Harry Maguire to deny Mohamed Elyounoussi. It wouldn't have counted. The offside flag was immediately raised but Maguire was not to know.

And now substitute Mariano Díaz almost sets up a goal!

He gets the better of William Saliba but Ben White and David Raya react to stop him teeing up a team-mate in the box.

As far as cameos go, this hasn't been good. At all. Boubakary Soumare, on for just a few minutes, is off with an injury having picked up a booking with his only contribution. Mariano Díaz comes on for Sevilla.

This is dull compared to the events of the first half but United won't care. They're making it as difficult as possible for Copenhagen before a shot is fired in from distance that doesn't trouble Andre Onana.

Not a nice challenge. Gabriel Martinelli has been toying with Juanlu all night and his frustrations were on show here.

Juanlu slides in and takes out Martinelli on the touchline. Mikel Arteta catches Martinelli and stops him flying into the dugout.

Juanlu is shown a yellow card then shakes hands with Martinelli, who took the foul well.

Boubakary Soumare is back on but he's not looking great. Diego Alonso is in conversation with his staff on who to replace his substitute with.

So far so good for the 10 men this half. Ten minutes ticked off without any further damage. Jeers from all four sides of the ground as Andre Onana takes his time after a Copenhagen move breaks down.

Oh dear. Not a good few minutes for Boubakary Soumare. He comes on as a substitute, gets a yellow card and now goes down injured after twisting his ankle.

Galatasary have the ball in the net but it's quickly disallowed for offside.

Lucas Torreira finds the bottom corner after a Mauro Icardi flick-on, but the Argentine had timed his run too early.

That's a big let-off for Manchester United too. They could end the night four points behind the Turkish side if results go against them.

Earlier, England captain Harry Kane struck the post for Bayern, sliding in to meet Joshua Kimmich's cross.

Ben White's lifted cross is too high for Kai Havertz. It falls to Oleksandr Zinchenko on the edge of the box and his powerful half-volley is saved.

Viktor Claesson gets on the end of a cross but it's a tame effort and Andre Onana looks relieved as he clutches the ball in his hands.

Changes for the visitors. Ivan Rakitic and Boubakary Soumaré are on for Sevilla.

Within seconds of coming on, Soumare is shown a yellow card for clashing into Declan Rice. Not a great start!
