Manchester City 4-1 Dortmund, Newcastle 2-0 Athletic, and more: Champions League – as it happened

Internazionale join Bayern Munich and Arsenal as the only teams with a 100 percent record at the halfway stage. Inter conceded a goal, though, so Arsenal are the only men left standing with a big fat zero in their against column. Manchester City and Newcastle are hot on their heels, with Liverpool and Spurs, winners both last night, tucked in just behind. Chelsea are the only English club to come away from this week feeling disappointed, and have some work to do as a result of their unexpectedly dropping points in Baku, but they’ll host Barcelona next time round, and on tonight’s evidence against Brugge, anything could happen at the Bridge. Meanwhile the entire table is propped up by two genuine giants of European football, Benfica and Ajax, who don’t have a point between them.

Dan Burn’s header a highlight you’ll see again and again. It’s been a good week in the Champions League for big goalscoring central defenders. Updated at 10.15pm GMT 9.54pm GMT Brugge 3-3 Barcelona. Romeo Vermant steals the ball off Wojciech Szczęsny, who was faffing around with the ball at his feet, and whips it home! But the goal’s chalked off for some light contact as Vermant slid in. You could make a case for that either way, but it’s a big let-off for Szczęsny. Updated at 10.18pm GMT 9.53pm GMT FULL TIME: Manchester City 4-1 Borussia Dortmund Four fine goals for Manchester City, who are on a heater. Updated at 10.08pm GMT 9.52pm GMT GOAL! Manchester City 4-1 Borussia Dortmund (Cherki 90+1) There’ll be no capitulation from three goals up this time! Rayan Cherki dribbles in from the left and has a dig from the edge of the D. His low drive takes a nick off Emre Can, ensuring it nestles into the bottom right! Updated at 10.00pm GMT 9.51pm GMT GOAL! Marseille 0-1 Atalanta (Samardzic 90). The goal stands! But that’s a controversial one, because Ederson certainly controlled the ball with his arm after it pinged up off his own boot. Roberto De Zerbi is booked for telling it as he sees it. Updated at 10.03pm GMT 9.48pm GMT Marseille 0-0 Atalanta. Lazar Samardžić steams down the right, glides infield, and power-curls an unstoppable effort into the top-left corner from 25 yards! But it might not stand, because earlier on, the ball reared up and hit Ederson on his arm in his own penalty area. So will the goal be chalked off, so Marseille can be awarded a penalty instead?! What drama here! 9.46pm GMT Marseille 0-0 Atalanta. Ademola Lookman is subbed off for Yunus Musah. As he departs, he and coach Ivan Jurić exchange opinions in the full and frank style, and Jurić grabs his player by the arm. Lookman spins, frowning, and things look like seriously spilling over, before the pair are separated. Lookman’s love affair with Atalanta, for whom he secured a first trophy since 1963 just last year, appears over. Related: Atalanta 3-0 Bayer Leverkusen: Europa League final – as it happened 9.41pm GMT GOAL! Ajax 0-3 Galatasaray (Osimhen 78 pen). Another handball, another penalty slotted by Victor Osimhen – into the right-hand side of the net this time, securing his hat-trick – and Ajax boss John Heitinga’s jacket is on a shoogly peg less than six months into his reign. Updated at 9.54pm GMT 9.37pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 3-3 Barcelona (Tzolis 77 og). Lamine Yamal crosses from the right. Christos Tzolis tries to head clear, but only manages to skim the ball off the top of his noggin, looping it across and over Nordin Jackers and into the top right. So unfortunate for the hosts, who were dreaming of going 4-2 up from the spot not so long ago. Updated at 9.47pm GMT 9.35pm GMT Manchester City 3-1 Borussia Dortmund. Pascal Gross, down the right, cuts back to Karim Adeyemi, who swivels and shoots from the penalty spot. John Stones throws himself in the road to block. What a defensive stand, because that looked goal-bound. I wonder if Pep has suddenly started thinking about this? Related: Manchester City 3-3 Feyenoord: Champions League – as it happened 9.32pm GMT GOAL! Manchester City 3-1 Borussia Dortmund (Anton 72) Dortmund aren’t quite finished yet, and Julian Ryerson fizzes a cross in from the right. Waldemar Anton races in to meet at the near post and rams home. He couldn’t miss, such was the quality of the cross by Ryerson. It was a doozy. 9.31pm GMT Brugge 3-2 Barcelona. Carlos Forbs kicks Alejandro Balde’s heel as the pair enter the Barca box. A penalty’s awarded, but VAR gets referee Anthony Taylor to have another look, and he changes his mind. No pen. Barca hanging on. 9.29pm GMT GOAL! Internazionale 2-1 Kairat (Augusto 67). Inter reclaim the lead, Carlos Augusto teed up on the right-hand edge of the D and smacking a fierce daisycutter into the bottom-right corner. Updated at 9.40pm GMT 9.28pm GMT Marseille 0-0 Atalanta. Charles De Ketelaere, out on the right, fires a low cross through the six-yard box. Ademola Lookman slams it home from close range, but it won’t count, because De Ketelaere was offside in the build-up. Updated at 9.29pm GMT 9.27pm GMT GOAL! Ajax 0-2 Galatasaray (Osimhen 65 pen). A cross from the left rears up and strokes Youri Baas on the arm. It’s a harsh, soft call, but it’s given, and Victor Osimhen whistles the spot kick into the bottom left. Ajax, the bottom club, in all sorts. Updated at 9.38pm GMT 9.26pm GMT GOAL! Ajax 0-1 Galatasaray (Osimhen 59). A cross flashes in from the right. Osimhen stoops to flash a header home from close range. And not long after … Updated at 9.37pm GMT 9.25pm GMT GOAL! Benfica 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen (Schick 65). Benfica have been the better side, but they’re behind. Patrik Schick has a whack from a tight angle on the left. It’s batted away by the Benfica keeper Anatoliy Trubin, but a poor defensive header comes straight back to Schick, who heads home from close range. 9.23pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 3-2 Barcelona (Forbs 64). Barca weren’t level for long! Carlos Forbs is sent clear down the middle and dinks over Wojciech Szczęsny to reclaim the lead for the Belgians! Updated at 9.33pm GMT 9.22pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 2-2 Barcelona (Yamal 60). Eric García strides down the inside-left channel and launches a rising drive that caroms off the crossbar at warp speed. Had that nestled in the top-right corner, it would have been up there in the central-defender canon with Micky van de Ven’s effort last night. Seriously. But never mind, because Barca come again, Lamine Yamal exchanging elegant passes down the inside-right with a back-flicking Fermin Lopez, before flicking a shot across the keeper and into the bottom left! What a sequence! Updated at 9.31pm GMT 9.18pm GMT GOAL! Internazionale 1-1 Kairat (Arad 55) A Kairat corner comes in from the left. Carlos Augusto heads it straight up into the air. Ofri Arad battles to get to the dropping ball first, and powers a header into the left-hand side of the net, Yann Sommer no chance! Updated at 9.29pm GMT 9.16pm GMT GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Borussia Dortmund (Foden 57) … but it’s not Haaland who gets his second goal. Not yet, anyway. Here comes Phil Foden, spinning into space by the right-hand side of the D and curling powerfully into the bottom left. Almost a carbon copy of his first! Phil Foden slots home his second, and Manchester City’s third goal of the night. Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA Updated at 9.26pm GMT 9.14pm GMT Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund. Erling Haaland fancies a second, and latches onto a pass down the inside-left channel to swing a shot straight at Gregor Kobel from a tight angle. 9.11pm GMT Brugge 2-1 Barcelona. Christos Tzolis rolls a pass down the inside-left channel to release Joaquin Seys, who stabs a shot from a tight angle straight at Wojciech Szczęsny. Barca go up the other end, Marcus Rashford cutting in from the left to cause bother, the ball breaking to Lamine Yamal, who slaps a shot straight at Nordin Jackers. It’s still 2-1; it could be 3-2. 9.08pm GMT GOAL! Newcastle United 2-0 Athletic Club (Joelinton 49) It’s third time lucky for Joelinton, who has had one goal chalked off for offside, and missed a sitter. Now he meets Harvey Barnes’ dinked cross from the left. He can’t go wrong from six yards, and plants a header into the top left. Great work from Barnes, too, whose shot from the left-hand edge had been blocked; he kept his concentration to pick up the rebound, burst down the channel, and carve out the assist. Updated at 9.22pm GMT 9.04pm GMT The second halves are underway. Peep! (redux, x7) 9.02pm GMT Half-time postbag. “In the derby of famously cursed teams, Leverkusen have been dreadful, though Benfica haven’t been able to score, despite plenty of attempts. If either team loses this match, their chances of qualifying for the knockouts will be very slim, but only Benfica seem to be aware of that” – Kári Tulinius “A long-range header is always good because unlike close ones, there’s a bit of skill to get the ball out of the keeper’s reach in a way that a closer-in one needs more power to do the same. There are some exceptions to that though: Jared Borgetti’s header v Italy from the six-yard box is a fine one, because of the deliberate way it’s placed to wrong-foot the goalkeeper” – Andy ‘Not That One’ Flintoff “Does Barca have a sponsorship deal with Stabilo?” – Mike Jarrey 8.55pm GMT FULL TIME: Qarabağ 2-2 Chelsea. The two-time winners took a point back from their 5,000-mile round-trip to Baku, but they were made to work for it. Jacob Steinberg was in Azerbaijan’s capital city to witness an entertaining match, and here’s his report.

Joelinton has already had a goal chalked off. He should make up for it here, setting himself up by bulldozing his way through a busy box down the inside-left channel, but leans back and lifts his shot over an unguarded net. 8.48pm GMT GOAL! Internazionale 1-0 Kairat (Martínez 45). The mother of all scrambles in the Kairat box. Pio Esposito’s header is blocked. Lautaro Martínez picks up the rebound … and his shot is blocked. It’s third time lucky for Inter, and Martínez, who dinks home, then celebrates by head-butting a nearby camera. Where is the love?! Updated at 9.03pm GMT 8.45pm GMT Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. That attempt on goal was Anthony Gordon’s last action of the night. He’s hurt his hip, and can’t continue. Jacob Murphy comes on in his stead. That’s a blow for the England winger with an international break coming up. 8.42pm GMT Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle are pressing hard for another. Harvey Barnes pings a cute pass down the inside-right channel to release Sandro Tonali, who digs out a cross that Nick Woltemade can’t head goalwards. But the ball breaks to Anthony Gordon, who blazes over the bar from a tight-ish angle on the left. That was a decent chance, but not a sitter by any means. 8.37pm GMT Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. A free kick for Kieran Trippier out on the left. He curls it into the mixer, hoping lightning will strike twice with Dan Burn. But he overhits the free kick to such an extent that even the six-feet-seven-inch defender can’t reach it. 8.34pm GMT Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund. Serhou Guirassy goes over the top of the ball and lands his studs on Jeremy Doku’s shin. The boot scrapes down onto the top of Doku’s boot, the final landing spot. That gives both referee and VAR an out, which they cowardly grab, ignoring the first shin impact. It should have been a red card. Updated at 8.42pm GMT 8.31pm GMT GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund (Haaland 29) … well, Dortmund clear it. But Savinho comes back at them down the right. His low cross is parried by keeper Kobel. However the ball ends up with Doku on the other flank. He reaches the byline and cuts back for that man Haaland, who swivels on the spot to lash into the right-hand side of the net. Just as well Kobel didn’t get to that one, because it might have taken his hand off. Updated at 9.18pm GMT 8.29pm GMT Manchester City 1-0 Borussia Dortmund. Erling Haaland has been racking up the goals, but he could have added an assist here. He rolls a pass from the left-hand edge of the Dortmund D to Nico O’Reilly, who leans back and flippers a rising shot towards the top left. Gregor Kobel does extremely well to tip over. But from the resulting corner … 8.27pm GMT Ajax 0-0 Galatasaray. A Galatasaray corner comes in from the left. Victor Osimhen rises highest and plants a header towards the bottom right. Remko Pasveer turns it around the post. What an effort, what a save. Rock-bottom Ajax are desperate for their first point of this league campaign; that it’s come to this for the four-time champions. 8.24pm GMT GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Borussia Dortmund (Foden 22) Tijjani Reijnders finds Phil Foden in a pocket of space just to the right of the Dortmund D. Foden spins, takes a touch, picks his spot, opens his body, and threads a low curler around Gregor Kobel and into the bottom left. That’s such a cute goal. Updated at 8.31pm GMT 8.21pm GMT Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle have Nick Pope to thank for their still being in the lead. Unai Gomez tears off down the right, enters the box, and tries to beat Pope at his near post. His low drive is kicked around the post, a brilliant save. And then from the resulting corner, Adama Boiro pearls a rising shot from the edge of the box off the left-hand post! 8.19pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 2-1 Barcelona (Forbs 16). Barca are pressing forward, but the ball is lost and punted upfield. From the halfway line, Carlos Forbs and Hans Vanaken one-two at speed, the former racing off down the inside-right channel before entering the box, opening his body, and flipping a shot across Wojciech Szczęsny and into the left-hand side of the net. Updated at 8.27pm GMT 8.17pm GMT Marseille 0-0 Atalanta. This is all about Marseille keeper Gerónimo Rulli, whose poor pass out allows Nikola Krstović to race back into the box and attempt to round him. Krstović goes over Rulli, who catches him. Penalty … which is then turned around the post by Rulli. Charles De Ketelaere missed it, a weak effort towards the bottom right. 8.14pm GMT GOAL! Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club (Burn 11) Newcastle with a free kick out on the right. From a deep position, Sandro Tonali curls it long. Dan Burn, racing in from the other flank, smacks a glorious header from 14 yards across Simon and into the top right! That’s a pearler of a header. Can a header be a pearler? The Steve Nicol rule, established at Highbury in 1987, says yes. Updated at 8.25pm GMT 8.12pm GMT Newcastle United 0-0 Athletic Club. Joelinton is sent powering down the inside-right channel. He holds off his marker and steers a lovely effort across Unai Simon and into the bottom left. But it’s quickly chalked off by VAR for offside. However, no matter, because a couple of minutes later … 8.10pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 1-1 Barcelona (Torres 8). Well that didn’t take long. Almost immediately after kick-off, Fermín López makes good down the right and curls in for Ferran Torres, who twists in mid-air to guide a shot across Nordin Jackers and into the bottom right. 8.08pm GMT GOAL! Brugge 1-0 Barcelona (Tresoldi 6). Carlos Forbs romps down the right flank and curls a low ball into the Barca box, where Nicolo Tresoldi slides in to direct into the bottom right. There’s a VAR check for offside, but Forbs timed his initial run just so. Updated at 8.11pm GMT 8.04pm GMT Newcastle United 0-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle by contrast are seeing a little bit more of the ball on their own patch. But it’s a slow-enough start at St James’ Park as well. 8.03pm GMT Manchester City 0-0 Borussia Dortmund. The 1997 champions are seeing most of the ball during the (very) early exchanges at the City of Manchester Stadium. A couple of minutes in, and the hosts have hardly touched the thing. 8.00pm GMT Peep! (x7) 7.58pm GMT Teams are emerging from tunnels all across Europe. Zadok the Priest (Version) blaring out hither and yon. We’ll be off in a couple of minutes! Updated at 8.09pm GMT 7.53pm GMT Going into the 8pm kick-offs, here’s how the league phase currently looks. When it’s all completed after eight games, the top eight will go through to the round of 16, positions nine to 16 will be seeded in the knockout stage and be drawn against positions 17 to 24, and everyone below will go home. So that’s a pretty big defeat for Villarreal in Cyprus tonight … and Chelsea now have a job on if they want to grab one of those top-eight spots, because they host Barcelona next, and still have to travel to Atalanta and Napoli.

Look at them now. They’ve come a long way. Speaking of which, Chelsea face a six-hour flight back to Blighty after this extremely disappointing result against a club that had previously lost all seven of their matches against English teams, the last six without troubling the scoreboard. John Brewin has the details. Related: Qarabag 2-2 Chelsea: Champions League – live reaction 7.40pm GMT FULL TIME: Pafos 1-0 Villarreal The first result of the evening is in … and it’s a first-ever victory in the Champions League proper for the Cypriot club! It comes at the expense of the erstwhile Europa League winners, Derrick Luckassen scoring the only goal of the game just after the break. To be fair, Pafos have already done for the famous Dynamo Kyiv (two-time Cup Winners’ Cup champions) and Red Star Belgrade (1991 European champs) in the qualifiers, but you get the point.

Busy, if not particularly laced with jeopardy, such is the nature of the sprawling Swiss behemoth, but let’s not start pulling at those threads now.
