Spurs beaten by Man United pick up first win
Tottenham lost for the first time in the Europa League this season on a dramatic night in Istanbul.
Victor Osimhen scored a brace as Galatasaray beat Spurs 3-2 at RAMS Park on a night where Spurs youngster Will Lankhear scored his first senior goal before being sent off for two bookable offences.
Rangers, meanwhile, claimed a vital draw away at Olympiacos with a creditable 1-1 draw.
Manchester United picked up their first win of the competition by beating PAOK in the final European game before the arrival of Ruben Amorin as their new manager.
As part of this season’s relaunch, which will see all 36 teams compete across a single league table before splitting into play-offs and knockouts depending on finishing position, both the Europa League and Champions League have been handed exclusive weeks for their first week of action.
It looks an open tournament this time around, perhaps offering the British teams involved a chance at a deep run if they can come through the initial phase.
