Heung-min Son scored twice as Tottenham came from behind to defeat Azerbaijani side FK Qarabag 3-1 at White Hart Lane. Spurs fell behind after five minutes when Richard Almeida stroked home a penalty awarded for a foul by Kieran Trippier on Ansi Agolli. But the hosts responded through a quick-fire double from Son, with the £22million summer arrival first converting Andros Townsend's corner from close-range before combining with Dele Alli to stroke home his second.
Liverpool and Bordeaux played out a well-fought draw in their Europa League group stage clash after Adam Lallana's individual brilliance in the second half was cancelled out by substitute Jussie.

Mauricio Pochettino hailed the instant impact of Son Heung-min after the summer arrival struck twice to lead Tottenham to Europa League victory over Qarabag. The Azerbaijan Premier League champions took a surprise lead at White Hart Lane as debutant Kieran Trippier felled Ansi Agolli in the box and Richard Almeida converted the resulting penalty. But Son then struck twice in three first-half minutes to turn the game around, with Erik Lamela adding another late on to seal a 3-1 victory.

STEPHEN McGOWAN AT THE AMSTERDAM ARENA: Celtic twice took the lead before being held to a 2-2 draw in their opening Europa League match after being reduced to 10-men at the Amsterdam Arena.

Such income would be close to the current world record, held by Real Madrid, who brought in £513.7m (based on current exchange rates) in 2013-14.
Norwegian champions Molde claimed a memorable win in Turkey and ended a seven-match winless streak on the road in Europe by beating Fenerbahce on Thursday night.

Just five games into the new Premier League season and Arsenal versus Chelsea is already a must-win for both sides. The Blues have endured a horror start on the domestic front while the Gunners' Champions League campaign began with a shock defeat to Dinamo Zagreb. Though Chelsea did earn some respite with a convincing 4-0 victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Arsenal have been solid in the league, victory on Saturday will provide a much-needed boost to the winners.
Lionel Messi insists there is still many more magical nights to come for Barcelona after celebrating his 100th Champions League against Roma on Wednesday night.

It is 6.15pm and Lineker, the highly-respected footballer-turned-presenter, is just 15 minutes from showtime as BT warms to its new role as the home of European football. It is the calm before the storm. The make-up artists have worked their magic, the cameramen are in position, and the only debate in sight is between two workers who cannot decide whether the Champions League trophy needs moving an inch to the left. No detail is too small, after all.
Martin O’Neill is letting Roy Keane play the role of good cop as part of Darron Gibson’s career rehabilitation. As Gibson strives to rebuild his reputation after he knocked over a cyclist while driving under the influence of alcohol, it is Keane, a drinker in his day, who is offering encouragement for his ex- Manchester United colleague. The Irish manager admitted he has ‘left him (Gibson) alone’ but confirmed Keane ‘might have spoken with him’ after naming the Everton midfielder in a 40-strong provisional squad for next month’s Euro qualifiers.
