Goals from Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert put Spurs two up and looked to have killed the game, before Johnson was shown a straight red card for sliding in and catching Marcos Lopez's ankle. But even though they only had 10 players on the pitch, Van de Ven scored one of the goals of the season. He picked up the ball inside his own half, on the edge of his own penalty area and stormed down the pitch, dribbling past five Copenhagen players before providing a finish any centre-forward would have been delighted with. Spurs had been booed off the pitch by their supporters following their dismal 1-0 loss to Chelsea at the weekend, but fans were on their feet applauding throughout the second half as Joao Palhinha made it 4-0 when unmarked following good work from Cristian Romero. And it nearly got even better for Tottenham, when they were awarded an injury-time penalty, only for Richarlison to fail to convert the chance by firing the spot-kick against the crossbar. For Van de Ven, it was the perfect response after television cameras had caught him appearing to shun boss Thomas Frank when the Dane asked him and Djed Spence to acknowledge the Spurs fans at the end of the Chelsea game. But, after apologies from both players on Monday, Van de Ven was named in the starting 11 and made a huge impact on this match. The victory means Tottenham have eight points from their four Champions League games, with two wins and two draws. They play at reigning holders Paris St-Germain in their next game in the competition on 26 November. At the halfway stage of the league phase, Tottenham are seventh and on course for a top-eight finish that would see them bypass the play-off round and jump straight into the last 16.

Dusan Vlahovic equalised in the 34th minute to cancel out Maxi Araujo's opener but the Serie A side could not make it two wins in two games under new manager Luciano Spalletti. Sporting arrived on the back of two wins in three European outings this term, and took the lead in the 12th minute when Araujo arrowed a low strike in off the foot of the post. The Portuguese giants almost doubled their lead two minutes later but Trincao saw his deflected effort cannon back off the crossbar. Juventus grew into the half and Vlahovic, whose future in Turin is uncertain with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, drew a magnificent save out of Rui Silva before beating the Sporting goalkeeper with a low finish from a Khephren Thuram cross. The Serb's first goal from open play in 10 games spurred his side on, but Silva produced another fine stop in injury-time to deny Jonathan David. Juventus' five-game winless run in the Champions League - stretching back to last season - is their longest such run in the competition since going six without a win between April and November 2013. They have three points after drawing three of their four games, while Sporting have seven points. On matchday five, Juventus travel to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt (25 November, 20:00 GMT), while Sporting take on Club Brugge in Lisbon (26 November, 20:00 GMT).

Bradley was earmarked as Alexander-Arnold's heir apparent from the moment he announced his decision to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid, so once the fates paired the two European superpowers together in the Champions League, the stage was set. And what a contrast it was as the 22-year-old Northern Ireland right-back was the shining symbol of a Liverpool display that harked back to their Premier League title-winning best as Real Madrid were swept aside. Alexander-Arnold, who started on the bench, all the while was left in no doubt how the fans who once sang about 'the Scouser in our team' now regard him. It was a day of unrelenting ill-feeling aimed in Alexander-Arnold's direction, from his mural near Anfield being vandalised with the words "Adios El Rata" before the game to the Anfield anger provoked by what many Liverpool fans regard as his betrayal. Bradley actually fuelled the fury and scorn aimed in Alexander-Arnold's direction with a magnificent display that reduced the formidable Vinicius Jr to a passenger, only able to offer theatrics – poor theatrics at that – in the face of the youngster's physical dominance. Every Bradley tackle was cheered to the echo, every pass greeted with Anfield's approval, his name chanted with gusto, not just for his own efforts but as a voluble reminder to Alexander-Arnold that there was a new kid in town, that he was now firmly a figure from the past. Bradley, unsurprisingly, even won the admiration of head coach Arne Slot. "Conor Bradley was outstanding," he said. "To be up against Vinicius so many times one against one is not for everyone, but he was outstanding."

The German side made it 16 successive wins in all competitions, including four out of four in the Champions League to top the league phase table. Diaz had a mixed night, scoring twice to put Bayern in control before being sent off on the stroke of half-time following a rash challenge from behind on Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan full-back was in tears as he was helped off with a serious-looking ankle injury, and the AFCON tournament held in his homeland in December. Hakimi left the stadium on crutches, wearing a protective boot and PSG captain Marquinhos said: "We have to wait for the tests, they've done some minor tests." In a chaotic first half at Parc des Princes, Vincent Kompany's side showed a bravery and willingness to press high up the field, which paid dividends when Diaz hit the opener in the fourth minute. Ousmane Dembele thought he had levelled midway through the half with PSG's first shot of the game when he chested in from close range, but his effort was ruled out for offside. The Ballon d'Or winner then left the field with what appeared to be a calf injury moments later. Bayern continued to ask questions of the hosts and were desperately unlucky when Serge Gnabry's shot crashed off one post and on to the other. But Diaz struck his second in the 32nd minute after stealing possession from a slack Marquinhos and coolly finishing. The Colombia winger, though, was dismissed just before the break for his tackle on Hakimi. A yellow card was upgraded to a red following a review from the video assistant referee (VAR), with the Moroccan clearly upset. PSG threw everything at Bayern in the second half, but constantly came up against a brick wall and looked like they weren't going to find a route back into the encounter. But with 16 minutes remaining, substitute Joao Neves stole half a yard of space to hit a bicycle kick beyond Manuel Neuer. That effort reignited PSG and Neuer faced a barrage of shots in the closing stages, making several fine saves to deny Neves, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha, as the holders suffered their first defeat of this season's competition.

It was also an eighth successive clean sheet - matching a club record set back in 1903 over two different seasons. Spaniard Merino was starting up front in place of the injured Viktor Gyokeres and, just as he did last season when he deputised for Kai Havertz, the midfielder showed his versatility to provide a focal point and make a crucial contribution for his team. Arsenal's opening goal came in the 32nd minute when they were awarded a penalty after the video assistant referee (VAR) penalised Lukas Provod for handball after Gabriel flicked on a corner. Captain Bukayo Saka stepped up to drill the ball into the bottom corner. The Gunners weren't at their best in the first half and had to navigate a tricky opening period, with Provod shooting wide for Slavia Prague when well placed. But Mikel Arteta's side started the second half extremely well and doubled their lead seconds after the restart when Merino volleyed Leandro Trossard's cross into the bottom corner. He added his second in the 68th minute when he rose to meet a Declan Rice cross as home keeper Jakub Markovic came out but failed to collect the ball. There was also another piece of history on the night as Max Dowman, at 15 years and 308 days old became the youngest player to feature in the Champions League when he replaced Trossard - breaking the mark set by Youssoufa Moukoko at 16 years and 18 days with Borussia Dortmund in 2020. Slavia Prague thought they had a penalty late on when Provod went down after a high challenge from Ben White, but the decision was overturned by a VAR check once the referee was sent to the monitor. The victory continued Premier League leaders Arsenal's excellent start to the season, with four wins from four matches in the Champions League as they extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches in all competitions.
