Tottenham 4-0 Copenhagen, PSG 1-2 Bayern Munich, and more: Champions League – as it happened

10.26pm GMT Shall we call it a night? Let’s call it a night. I’ll leave you with a reminder of the results. Thanks for your company as always – goodnight! Napoli 0-0 Frankfurt Slavia Prague 0-3 Arsenal Atletico Madrid 3-1 Union SG Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Monaco Juventus 1-1 Sporting Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid Olympiacos 1-1 PSV Paris Saint-Germain 1-2 Bayern Munich Tottenham 4-0 FC Copenhagen 10.25pm GMT Thomas Frank's reaction Very happy with a lot of things. In life and football, after let’s say a bad performance or a bad situation, it’s all about how you react. We showed a fantastic bounce-back mentality and put in a good performance. The players found another level after the red card, which was super impressive. The fans were amazing, they were behind us throughout the game. [On Brennan Johnson’s red card] He didn’t have any intention to do anything that could even potentially be a red card. I still think it’s quite harsh – VAR see the still footage of the studs on the leg and it makes it look more brutal. I don’t think he did anything reckless in any way. [On Mickay Van de Ven’s goal] Yeah, it could be the goal of the season. It was like Lionel Messi was transformed into a centre-back! Fantastic goal. 10.16pm GMT Match report: Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid Ultimately it was not about who was back at Anfield but what was back. The Liverpool of Arne Slot’s title-winning debut season was the answer and, for the second November in succession, Real Madrid did not have one of their own. Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring in last season’s 2-0 defeat of the Spanish giants – though giant is not an accurate description of their latest performance on Merseyside – and settled the reunion of the European heavyweights as Liverpool, all controlled aggression and clear intent, ignited their Champions League campaign and quite possibly their season. Another clean sheet and set-piece goal added to Slot’s satisfaction on a raucous, reaffirming night at Anfield. Xabi Alonso’s team were a distant second all night. Trent Alexander-Arnold, his mural near Anfield vandalised earlier in the day, entered in the 81st minute to a chorus of boos.

The most important thing was to bounce back from last weekend. Everyone wants to play well. I’ve come into a new situation, it’s never happened to me before, and I have to keep working. My teammates have my back so I’m not worried about that. I know what I can bring to the team and I will never let my head drop. 10.08pm GMT Match report: Tottenham 4-0 FC Copenhagen It was the moment when the Tottenham home crowd could forget about their recent frustrations and lose themselves in the joy of it all; the glorious release. Their team had been too good for Copenhagen, who showed virtually nothing – certainly not in a positive sense. Spurs were 2-0 up after Wilson Odobert’s goal but there was a glitch when Brennan Johnson, who had opened the scoring, was sent off in the 56th minute. The foul was more clumsy than sinister yet when the referee, Erik Lambrechts, was advised to go to the pitchside monitor, Johnson’s night was over. Enter Micky Van de Ven. The centre-half has become synonymous with the swashbuckling and he was at it again when he seized possession on the edge of his own penalty box and started to motor. It was a blur as he left four Copenhagen players in his wake before entering the other area and blasting home. Game over.

They were sensational in the first half, when Luis Diaz scored twice, but the game changed just before the break when Diaz was sent off for a horrible challenge on Achraf Hakimi. We don’t know for sure but it looked like Hakimi, who turned 27 today, suffered a serious ankle injury. Joao Neves’s improvised volley gave PSG hope and they pressed incessantly for the last quarter of the game. By hook or by crook, Bayern’s 10 men held on – and their coach Vincent Kompany ran onto the pitch to celebrate with his team at the final whistle. As league-stage wins go, that’s a biggie.

Updated at 9.52pm GMT 9.47pm GMT 81 min: PSG 1-2 Bayern Lee’s cross from the right is headed this far wide by Joao Neves, straining every neck muscle to try to guide the ball inside the post.

It wasn’t just about speed and power; he swerved away from a group of defenders just past the halfway line and then, when he reached the edge of the area, finished like an old don. 9.26pm GMT The latest scores Atletico Madrid 1-0 Union SG Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Monaco Juventus 1-1 Sporting Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid Olympiacos 1-0 PSV Paris Saint-Germain 0-2 Bayern MunichDiaz scores twice and is sent off Tottenham 4-0 FC CopenhagenJohnson scores and is sent off Napoli 0-0 Frankfurt (FT) Slavia Prague 0-3 Arsenal (FT) 9.25pm GMT GOAL!

Updated at 9.20pm GMT 9.14pm GMT 53 min: Spurs 2-0 Copenhagen That was such good play from Kolo Muani, whose block tackle on the keeper sent the ball flying in the air. He did brilliantly to control the dropping ball, then turned to tee up Odobert. But hang on… 9.12pm GMT GOAL! Spurs 2-0 Copenhagen (Odobert 51) Wilson Odobert makes it 2-0 after more desperate goalkeeping from Dominik Kotarski. He spent too long and the ball and was robbed by Kolo Muani, who did well to control the dropping ball and tee up Odobert.

Luis Diaz scores both goals for Bayern, who played magnificently against the European champions, before he was sent off for a scissor tackle on Achraf Hakimi. Could be a lively second half. Updated at 8.57pm GMT 8.54pm GMT Red card! Diaz sent off 45+5 min: Paris Saint-Germain 0-2 Bayern Munich Luis Diaz, who scored both Bayern Munich goals, has been sent off after a VAR review. He was trying to get the ball but both feet were off the ground and he trapped Hakimi’s ankle in a horrible position. Bayern’s players are furious and think it’s a reaction to the injury rather than the challenge. Updated at 8.56pm GMT 8.51pm GMT 45+3 min: Paris Saint-Germain 0-2 Bayern Diaz is booked for a scissor tackle on Hakimi, who is in absolute agony. This looks really bad. He’s in so much pain, with his hand over his face. Diaz may be sent off for this. Updated at 9.02pm GMT 8.50pm GMT Disallowed goal! Atletico Madrid 1-0 Union SG Antoine Griezmann helps himself to an open goal after Koke’s howitzer is turned onto the post. No he doesn’t; there was a pedantic VAR offside about four hours earlier. Updated at 8.52pm GMT 8.48pm GMT 45+1 min: PSG 0-2 Bayern Bayern are rampant in Paris. Pavlovic has a goal disallowed for offside, then Kimmich draws a subtly brilliant save from Chevalier after yet another knife-through-butter move. 8.47pm GMT Half time: Tottenham 1-0 FC Copenhagen Brennan Johnson’s first Champions League goal is enough for Spurs to lead against Copenhagen. They should be 2-0 up: Randal Kolo Muani missed a sitter just before the break. 8.45pm GMT GOAL! Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Monaco (Balogun 43) Folarin Balogun collects a return pass from Akliouche and smashes the ball past the keeper from an absurd angle. And why not? 8.40pm GMT GOAL! Atletico Madrid 1-0 Union SG (Alvarez 39) Gio Simeone charges into the area and screws the ball across to Julian Alvarez, who flicks the ball up and slams a volley through the legs of the goalkeeper.

Then Ousmane Dembele jogs off to be replaced by Kang-in Lee; that must be a recurrence of his hamstring problem. Updated at 8.33pm GMT 8.26pm GMT Disallowed goal! Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Bayern Munich Ousmane Dembele reacts very smartly to chest a mishit shot into the net from close range. The goal is given on the field but then ruled out for offside by VAR. 8.22pm GMT 20 min: Spurs 1-0 FC Copenhagen That wasn’t great goalkeeping from Dominik Kotarski, who charged out of his area and made Johnson’s mind up for him. Even so, Johnson took the chance clinically. 8.21pm GMT GOAL! Spurs 1-0 FC Copenhagen (Johnson 19) Relief for Spurs – and for Xavi Simons. He clips an imaginative pass around the Copenhagen for Brennan Johnson, who strolls past the outrushing keeper and rolls the ball in from a tight angle. It’s his first Champions League goal. Updated at 8.23pm GMT 8.19pm GMT GOAL! Olympiacos 1-0 PSV (Martins 17) Gelson Martins gives Olympiacos the lead with a thumping finish.

The keeper probably had it covered, though I wouldn’t put the farm on it. 8.15pm GMT 14 min: Juventus 0-1 Sporting Almost a second goal for Sporting in Turin. Trincao, who made the goal for Araujo, has just whacked a deflected shot against the underside of the crossbar! Updated at 8.16pm GMT 8.14pm GMT GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Sporting (Araujo 12) Sporting lead thanks to a terrific goal from Maxi Araujo.

This time it was one that had stretched back more than 55 years, when Leeds became the last English team not to concede a goal in their opening four matches, in the 1969/70 European Cup campaign under Don Revie. Slavia Prague gave it their best shot and thought they had been awarded a late penalty, only for the video assistant referee to deny them. The Czech champions finally recorded a shot on target against David Raya in stoppage time, but Arsenal made it eight successive clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since they were in what was the Second Division, in 1903.

Van de Ven and Spence were incensed when the full-time whistle sounded and the Spurs fans booed, as they had done at half-time with their team trailing to João Pedro’s 34th‑minute goal. The defenders stormed past Frank towards the tunnel, ignoring their manager’s attempts to get them to acknowledge the supporters in the South Stand – a bad look at the end of another bad Premier League day at the stadium.

He now interprets his role as he did at Tottenham: as a striker who gets the ball in midfield, distributes it and hits crossfield passes. I can’t remember a centre-forward whose passing was better.
