Marseille 0 - 3 Man City

Pep Guardiola's Man City continued their perfect start in the UCL group stage this season with a comfortable win over Ligue 1 outfit Marseille at the Stade Velodrome. Ferran Torres opened the scoring for the Cityzens while Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling scored in the second half to put Man City at the top in their Group C Champions League standings. 

Liverpool 2 - 0 Midtjylland

Jurgen Klopp opted to shuffle the pack against Midtjylland and it took Liverpool 54 minutes to get the first goal of the game and it came from none other than Diogo Jota which was, incidentally, the 10,000th goal in the club's history. Substitute Mo Salah came added a second in stoppage time to make it 2-0 and confirm the points, though Fabinho hobbled off with a hamstring injury in what was a blemish on an odd night for the Reds. Liverpool are now at the top of Group D with six points from two games.
