Declan Rice scored a late equaliser as Arsenal and Bayern Munich played out an entertaining draw in the league phase of the Champions League in a game where Bukayo Saka limped off with injury.
22 Oct 2026
Saka went down after just 10 minutes with a suspected thigh problem, after he attempted to play a pass without anyone around him.
Eberechi Eze replaced Saka and scored the opening goal of the game in the 35th minute, after he latched on to an excellent pass by Martin Odegaard, with the video assistant referee needing to intervene after the England international was initially flagged offside.
But Bayern Munich were behind for just 10 minutes, with Harry Kane picking the ball up in midfield and splitting the Arsenal backline with a pinpoint pass for Alphonso Davies to finish.
Kane, who had produced a number of eye-catching passes during the match, then put Bayern in front from the penalty spot.
The England captain's shot struck Jurrien Timber's hand inside the area and Kane sent David Raya the wrong way from 12 yards as he looked to have completed the turnaround.
Bayern piled the pressure on to Arsenal as they looked for a third goal but the Gunners held firm before Rice exchanged passes with substitute Viktor Gyokeres and drilled a low shot into the bottom corner to level the game.
The Gunners pushed for a winner and Jurrien Timber forced Manuel Neuer into an acrobatic stop before full-time.
Manchester United suffered one of the worst European nights in their history against Como to pile the pressure on beleaguered boss Michael Carrick.

Eight days after conceding in the first minute to Atletico Madrid, United's defences were breached after 118 seconds as brilliant Argentina playmaker Nico Paz scored the first of his double.
It meant United became the first English team in history to concede in the first two minutes of consecutive major European matches, something no-one at Old Trafford wants to be associated with.
When United last won the Champions League in 2008, Como were in Serie D. It is a measure of the different directions the respective clubs are heading in that this was about as comprehensive a victory and as one-sided a match as it is possible to imagine.
Paz scored twice, and set up Tasos Douvikas in between, before Jacobo Ramon powered home a header for number four.
At one stage it looked as if United may equal another unwanted record - their heaviest ever European defeat was a 5-0 loss to Portuguese side Sporting in 1964.
Skipper Bruno Fernandes was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee midway through the second half after Matheus Cunha and Andrey Santos - £110m-worth of Ineos signings - were taken off at half-time.
Zirkzee beat the offside trap to calmly score a consolation from fellow substitute Amad Diallo's cross in stoppage time, but that did nothing to improve the mood.
Carrick seemed to ignore his players as he went to acknowledge the United fans, repeatedly holding his hands up in apology, in the manner of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following the 4-1 defeat at Watford in November 2021 - which led to his dismissal 24 hours later.
Real Betis continued their 100% start in the Champions League with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Feyenoord in Seville.
22 Oct 2026
Betis began their first Champions League campaign in 21 years with back-to-back 3-2 victories but, unlike their wins against Lille and Porto, they did not have to come from behind to defeat Feyenoord.
Manuel Pellegrini's side controlled much of the first half, but were fortunate to go into half-time level after Feyenoord's Gjivai Zechiel blasted over the crossbar from seven yards out.
Betis reasserted their authority after the break and in the 59th minute Isco converted from the penalty spot - his second penalty in two Champions League games - after Jeremiah St. Juste handled a shot from Abde Ezzalzouli.
The hosts lost attacking impetus after winger Antony limped off with 25 minutes remaining but, despite anxiety growing among the home fans as Feyenoord pushed for a leveller, Betis hung on for maximum points.
Betis will travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, 4 November (20:00 GMT), 24 hours after Feyenoord host Inter Milan in Rotterdam.
Inter Milan ended a four-game losing streak in the Champions League with a narrow victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.
22 Oct 2026
The Italian champions, losing finalists in both 2023 and 2025, had tasted defeat in their first two matches this season and only won one of their past eight matches in the competition.
Carlos Augusto's 77th-minute goal was the difference and came after Inter were reduced to 10 men nine minutes earlier. Defender Alessandro Bastoni was dismissed for two yellow cards in the space of three minutes.
Augusto was found by a superb lofted pass by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was introduced from the bench less than two minutes before the winner, and forced past the on-rushing Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk.
Mkhitaryan had a chance to seal the victory when he was put through one-on-one, but was forced to turn back and found the side-netting with his finish.
Inter visit Feyenoord in their next game on 3 November (20:00), while Shakhtar - who have four points in the league phase - host Sporting at Stamford Bridge on the same evening (17:45).
Ruthless Roma stuck four past Yaya Toure's Slovan Bratislava to secure their first Champions League victory of the season.
21 Oct 2026
Goals from Mario Hermoso, Nahuel Molina, Niccolo Pisilli and Donyell Malen sparked the Serie A side's European campaign into life on what is their return to the competition for the first time since 2019.
Roma suffered a shocking late collapse last week to lose 4-3 against Real Madrid as they conceded three goals in the last seven minutes.
But they bounced back here and were in front against the Slovakian side inside 21 minutes when Hermoso headed in almost on the goal-line after Daniele Ghilardi nodded down Lorenzo Pellegrini's free-kick.
Roma were dominant against the side managed by former Manchester City midfielder Toure and got a deserved second six minutes before the break.
Molina forced the ball home at the back post for his first goal for the club after Brastislava keeper Dominik Takac pushed ex-Aston Villa forward Malen's shot across goal.
Roma, who drew their opening European game of the season against Fenerbahce, took advantage of some hesitant defending early in the second half to get their third.
Matias Soule managed to win the ball in the area before Malen played the ball back for Pisilli to turn home in the 52nd minute.
Malen then got the fourth from the penalty spot just before the hour mark after Cesar Blackman fouled Wesley Franca to leave Toure's side bottom of the Champions League table.
