GOAL! Tottenham 4-0 FC Copenhagen (Palhinha 67)

Joao Palhinha, who has only just come on the pitch, makes it 4-0 to 10-man Spurs!

GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 FC Copenhagen (Van de Ven 64)

If Micky van de Ven owed the Spurs fans an apology, he’s just delivered it with an amazing goal. He intercepted the ball on the edge of the Spurs area, ran the length of the field and whipped a superb finish into the net. It’s an astonishing goal, but there’s no time to dwell on it because…

Red card! Johnson sent off

57 min: Spurs 2-0 Copenhagen Brennan Johnson gets a straight red card after a VAR review. He lunged in to win the ball, mistimed the challenge and planted his studs into the back of the ankle.

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…

Share

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.

They’re back underway in the all the 8pm games except PSG v Bayern, which had around 10 minutes of first-half injury-time.

Half time: Paris Saint-Germain 0-2 Bayern

We don’t know the exact nature of Hakimi’s injury but it looked nasty, ligament damage at best, and he is replaced by Senny Mayulu.

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.

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.

Share

Updated at 21.56 CET

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.

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.

Share

Updated at 21.52 CET

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.

Share

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.

Share

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?

Share

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. One-nothing!

37 min: Paris Saint-Germain 0-2 Bayern This would be Bayern’ 16th straight win since the start of the season. And that still isn’t a record.

GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Sporting (Vlahovic 34)

Dusan Vlahovic equalises for Juventus, sliding in at the near post to meet a low pass from Khephren Thuram. A textbook striker’s finish.

Share

GOAL! PSG 0-2 Bayern (Diaz 32)

Two goals for Luis Diaz! Marquinhos farts arounds inexplicably and is robbed by Diaz 25 yards from goal. He zips into the area and finishes emphatically. Bayern are on fire.

Share

Updated at 21.39 CET

31 min: Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Bayern Serge Gnabry hits both posts with a shot from the edge of the area. Bayern look so dangerous in transition.

Share

30 min: Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid Still goalless at Anfield. I’ll level with you, I haven’t a clue what has happened as I’ve been trying to follow the other six games. But Scott Murray can give you chapter and verse.

25 min: PSG 0-1 Bayern Gnabry misses an excellent chance for Bayern – he was flagged offside after the event but I’m not sure he was. Then Ousmane Dembele jogs off to be replaced by Kang-in Lee; that must be a recurrence of his hamstring problem.

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.

Share

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.

Share

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.

Share

Updated at 21.23 CET

GOAL! Olympiacos 1-0 PSV (Martins 17) Gelson Martins gives Olympiacos the lead with a thumping finish. He controlled an up-and-under on the thigh, ran into the area and blootered it past the keeper.

16 min: Spurs 0-0 FC Copenhagen Pedro Porro, 35 yards from goal, wobbles a fine free-kick just over the bar. The keeper probably had it covered, though I wouldn’t put the farm on it.

Share

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!

GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Sporting (Araujo 12) Sporting lead thanks to a terrific goal from Maxi Araujo. They worked the ball rhythmically from right to left, where Goncalves controlled a pass from Trincao and blasted a shot back across Michele Di Gregorio. Cracking finish.

GOAL! PSG 0-1 Bayern (Diaz 4)

An early goal in Paris! It came from a well-timed press near the halfway line, after which Gnabry’s clever flick released Olise. His shot was saved by Chevalier but Diaz forced the rebound through a defender on the line.

On the ball – guess the footballer

Ed Aarons

Another game, another slew of records for Arsenal’s defensive machine. 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.

Share

Full time: Slavia Prague 0-3 Arsenal

That’s ten wins in a row for Arsenal, the last eight without conceding a goal. Pretty good.

Share

Full time: Napoli 0-0 Frankfurt

A very good point for Frankfurt, not so much for Napoli. Both teams now have four points from four games.

83 min: Napoli 0-0 Frankfurt The usually reliable Scott McTominay has just missed a terrific chance for Napoli, blootering over the bar after brilliant play from Frank Anguissa.

David Hytner

Thomas Frank has called for better support from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd after revealing that Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence had apologised to him for their reaction to the 1-0 home defeat against Chelsea on Saturday.

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.

Dowman makes Champions League history.

Arsenal are apparently cruising to another victory/clean sheet combo. Mikel Merino has scored twice in the second half to give them a 3-0 lead against Slavia Prague – and Max Dowman has just come off the bench to become the youngest player in Champions League history. He’s 15.

Updated at 20.29 CET

Youssoufa Moukoko, still only 20 but tipped for big things since the age of 14, starts in attack for Copenhagen tonight. Michael Butler traces his career so far.

Philipp Lahm on Harry Kane

In his third season in Munich, Kane is able to transfer his style of play to the club. 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. He also has a keen sense of when to move into the penalty area.

Florian Wirtz starts for Liverpool; Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the bench for Real Madrid. Scott Murray has the full team news.

Half time: Slavia Prague 0-1 Arsenal

Bukayo Saka’s penalty has given Arsenal the lead in one of two early games. Niall McVeigh has dedicated his entire life (okay, the next hour or so) to a separate liveblog for that; you can follow the second half with him.

The other early game is goalless at half-time: Napoli 0-0 Frankfurt.
