Liverpool Leave It Late Again
Description
Liverpool left it late once again, as Virgil van Dijk’s 94th-minute header secured a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Elsewhere in the Champions League, PSG hammered Atalanta 4-0, Bayern Munich beat Chelsea 3-1 thanks to another pair of Harry Kane goals, and Inter Milan won 2-0 away at Ajax. There was also history for debutants Bodo/Glimt, who earned a dramatic draw at Slavia Prague, while Pafos claimed a first-ever Champions League point at Olympiakos.
In the Carabao Cup, Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest threw away a 2-0 lead at half-time to lose 3-2 to Championship side Swansea City - capped off by Cameron Burgess’ stoppage-time rocket. Manchester United, meanwhile, posted record revenues of £666m, and Jose Mourinho is set to return to Benfica as manager, more than 20 years after resigning from the club.
And in one of the strangest football travel stories in recent memory, Monaco’s players were forced to strip down to their underwear after the air-conditioning failed on their private jet to Belgium. The squad eventually had to evacuate the aircraft at Nice airport.
