  1. Champions League standingspublished at 10:03 GMT

    So here's how things stand in the Champions League table before the league phase continues tonight.

    Manchester United have moved up to the top half of the table while Aston Villa remain in the top eight despite their heavy defeat last night, which was Barcelona leapfrog them.

    Only two-time defending champions Paris St-Germain still have a 100% record in the competition so far.

  2. PSG score four in first 17 minutes in Villarreal routpublished at 10:00 GMT

    Defending champions Paris St-Germain continued their impressive Champions League campaign as they thrashed Villarreal.

    Some home supporters departed the ground before the clock had even reached 20 minutes as a rampant PSG netted four times within the opening 17 minutes.

    All four of those goals came as a result of sloppiness at the back from the Spanish club, which was punished by an attacking line who have already put four past Barcelona and Manchester City in Europe this season.

    Fabian Ruiz made it five after the break when he produced a deft touch to leave his marker on the ground before tucking the ball in for his second goal.

    Victory was rounded off by 17-year-old David Boly, who surged up the flank and sent an effort in off the leg of a Villarreal defender.

  3. Bayern stay unbeaten in Europe with Atletico winpublished at 09:57 GMT

    Atletico Madrid 0-2 Bayern Munich

    Bayern Munich continued their unbeaten start to the Champions League season with an assured victory at Atletico Madrid.

    Teenage star Lennart Karl had a first half to forget, but he redeemed himself by breaking the deadlock with a sneaky finish nine minutes after the restart.

    The 18-year-old nipped in behind Robin le Normand, snatched the ball from the Atletico defender and chipped it effortlessly over Jan Oblak.

    Konrad Laimer doubled the visitors' lead, blasting a ferocious strike over Oblak and into the roof of the net after he was picked out in space by Harry Kane.

    Kane, playing in his first European match since winning the Ballon d'Or, had less luck in front of goal and missed the chance to make more history by equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the longest Champions League scoring streak.

    The England captain had scored in his previous 10 appearances, but he failed to trouble the Atletico goalkeeper - shanking an acrobatic attempt wide before drilling a low strike off target.

    Oblak made a fine save to tip a deflected strike from Dayot Upamecano on to the crossbar, while Manuel Neuer had a quiet evening at the other end - facing just one shot on target from the hosts.

  4. Barca brilliance ends Villa's perfect startpublished at 09:55 GMT

    Barcelona 3-0 Aston Villa

    Barcelona ended Aston Villa's perfect Champions League start with an enthralling win at the Spotify Nou Camp.

    Lamine Yamal and Raphinha's double eventually eased the five-time European champions to victory after the Premier League side gave them a first-half scare.

    Matty Cash, Victor Lindelof and Johan Manzambi had chances, but Villa were left to contemplate what might have been.

    They had gifted Barca, who leapfrogged the visitors into second place in the league phase table, a seventh-minute lead when Joao Gomes' panicked ball across the box allowed Lamine Yamal to curl in his 13th goal in 15 games.

    Yet Villa refused to sit back and played their role in an open and engrossing encounter which almost delivered a leveller.

    Cash and Lindelof had shots deflected behind, while Manzambi scuffed wide before testing home keeper Joan Garcia.

    Villa tried to exploit a Barca side without a Champions League clean sheet in 18 games, but were left to rue their misses when Raphinha's low shot clipped Pau Torres to wrong-foot keeper Zion Suzuki and make it 2-0 seven minutes after the break.

    The former Leeds United forward then added a classy close-range third in the 64th minute after excellent work and a glorious pass from Joao Cancelo on the left, before Suzuki denied Anthony Gordon a fourth.

    Manchester United

    It wasn't all good news for Manchester United last night as £70m summer signing Carlos Baleba suffered a hamstring injury that looks set to rule him out of action for a while.

    The former Brighton midfielder had to go off in the 51st minute after he got injured while charging into the Roma box on the attack.

    BBC Radio 5 Live commentator at Old Trafford

    At half-time when [Manchester United] were down 2-0 it was almost an acceptance that it was going to be another defeat.

    There was no anger, there was just a quiet lull in the stadium and from the minute Manchester United came out at the start of the second half, [Carlos] Baleba with that run where unfortunately he looks to have done his hamstring as he was breaking through, but that run from Baleba just seemed to spark some sort of life into Manchester United and into the crowd here.

    The crowd came alive, they got right behind their team, they were singing the Michael Carrick song. They're certainly behind their players and they're behind their manager, who they love so much for everything that he achieved here during his playing days.

  9. Mischief maker Lacey catches the eyepublished at 09:36 GMT

    Man Utd 3-2 Roma

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport Manchester United reporter

    Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says he loves Shea Lacey and the youngster has "a bit of mischief" about him.

    The 19-year-old has been used sparingly by Carrick this term, even though he has kept fully across the development of United's academy stars.

    Lacey had only made four substitute appearances and a start against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, when he scored his first senior goal, prior to last night's Champions League comeback against Roma.

    Carrick put Lacey on for Amad Diallo 15 minutes from the end, with United still trailing and desperately searching for a way to get back into the game.

    The Liverpudlian unsettled the Roma defence by running with the ball, supplied the crucial assist for Matheus Cunha's winner and emerged as one of United's inspirations on what turned out to be a night to remember.

    "We love him to bits, you know," said Carrick. "He's a great young man; he's got great ability and he's desperate to do well. He's got that little glint in his eye, he plays with a bit of mischief."

    Yet it wasn't just Lacey's ability in attack that impressed Carrick.

    Last season, Under-21 coach Adam Lawrence made a point of highlighting some of the defensive work the youngster had done. After Roma, Carrick did the same.

    "I was just as happy seeing him defending as a right-back when we needed it," he said. "As a rounded footballer you've got to be able to do that.

    "He gave everybody a bit of a lift coming on the pitch. It was fantastic to see, and he made the most of what he had."

    Shea Lacey is a special player. He's a really special talent and it's important that [Manchester United] don't rush it.

    I think Michael Carrick is managing him because the easy thing for him to do is just to go and play him but there is obviously a reason that we don't know and for me it's probably because he is being a bit clever with him.

    It was a very good win but lucky enough to get the retake on the penalty to start the comeback. Need to keep winning games without needing the motivation of conceding goals first. Positively, I thought Shea Lacey changed the game when he came on. Very direct.

    I said at half-time 'if you're going to go down, go down fighting'. You can accept losing if you've given absolutely everything and they didn't do that in the first half. But they did in the second half. The tone was set with Carlos Baleba. It was so unfortunate he got an injury for it but that was a spark.

    Youri Tielemans came on and that changed the game a little bit. There was a little bit more control. When you're playing in these games and you're two down, you're already done, so you may as well go and give it everything you've got. You may as well run around. That should be the standard and now the great thing about it for Michael Carrick is now he has something to refer to.

    Any time there's a difficult situation or pre-match team talk, it's going to be look what you do when you apply yourselves in that manner, then you are impossible to live with.

  13. 'Huge second half for Michael Carrick'published at 09:19 GMT

    I think that is a huge second half for Michael Carrick. It wasn't pretty football necessarily but it was a battle and a fight. It was all about the intensity, they were winning the ball high up the pitch, they were pressing Roma's back line and they weren't letting them out.

    They were direct and positive in what they did and that's not really been something we have seen from Man Utd through this dreadful run they have been on.

    For Michael Carrick, he will hope that second half is a benchmark now that they put down to say 'this is where we go on from here'.

    Maybe you can use Arteta as an example of sticking by a manager. It has pretty much been since Fergie. United have jumped the ship too early and sacked a manager before they can really get going. At the same time, results need to improve soon.

    After being left on the bench for Manchester United's 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth, captain Bruno Fernandes returned for Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.

    He then was named player of the match after United came back from 2-0 down to beat Roma 3-2, claiming one goal and delivering the cross for Mathues Cunha's equaliser.

    "Everyone thought that was a punishment for the words that I had, and if it was, it was right," Fernandes said about the Bournemouth game. "The manager is the one who makes the decisions.

    "It doesn't change the belief I have of the manager and the staff and every player in this club," he added. "It doesn't change my aim to win every game that I have ahead of me."

    "It's been tough, there's been a lot of speculation in the media," Fernandes told Amazon Prime.

    "A lot of lies around many things that have happened between me and the manager, that we have cleared the air, then after that the manager took the decision to put me on the bench because I'm not performing. That's fair."

  20. This place does magical things - Carrickpublished at 08:59 GMT

    Man Utd 3-2 Roma

    Manchester United

    Despite Manchester United's terrible start, Michael Carrick still believed they could get something from the game.

    The head coach insists he is blocking out the external noise and remains fully committed to turning the club's fortunes around.

    "At half-time, I was wanting them to be more positive, if anything, and not get too disappointed and frustrated," said Carrick.

    "When you keep trying to do something, the easiest thing is feeling sorry for yourself. If something goes wrong, you get disappointed. That's not going to help anybody. We might as well all go home if that's the case. We've got to keep looking for the next moment, the next solution.

    "I don't like to keep talking to the lads about what this place can do and the history and what's gone before too much, but it's there.

    "This place does magical things, it's done it before and it'll do it over and over again at some point in the future. There's just something in this place that when we do have these types of nights, we do it the hard way.

    "But one moment can flip the whole place in a different direction. I spoke about that with the boys. Let's have one moment that can trigger it. And we had that."
