Group A

Copenhagen 1-2 Bayern

Highlights: Copenhagen 1-2 Bayern

Jamal Musiala's solo strike and substitute Mathys Tel's powerful winner clinched Bayern's comeback in Copenhagen.

The hosts threatened a shock when Lukas Lerager was quickest to react to a loose ball with a half-volley that skidded off the turf and into the net.

Musiala's mazy run and precise finish put Bayern level before replacement Thomas Müller unselfishly teed up his fellow sub Tel, who blasted into the roof of the net late on.

Jordan Larsson's header forced a smart Sven Ulreich save in added time, but Bayern held on to make it two Group A victories.

Key stat: Bayern are now unbeaten in 36 UEFA Champions League group stage matches, winning each of the last 15.

Highlights: Man United 2-3 Galatasaray

Galatasaray showed second-half resolve to come back twice and then beat Man United in an Old Trafford thriller.

Rasmus Højlund headed the hosts in front, only for Wilfried Zaha to level against his old club. After Højlund had another goal disallowed for offside he did get a second, but the Turkish side hit back again quickly through Kerem Aktürkoğlu.

Although Casemiro conceded a penalty and was sent off, Mauro Icardi missed it – but then responded with a clipped winner a couple of minutes later.

Key stat: United have lost two games at the start of a Champions League group for the first time thanks to Galatasaray’s first win on English soil.

Sevilla defender Nemanja Gudelj opened the scoring before PSV captain Luuk De Jong restored parity with a cool penalty.

Arsenal searched for an equaliser, but the Lens defence proved too strong and well-organised to break down.
