Summary

Liverpool came from behind in Frankfurt to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat, Chelsea’s teenage trio Marc Guiu, Estêvão, and Tyrique George scored as they eased past ten-man Ajax and Spurs remained unbeaten in the Champions League with a goalless draw in Monaco.

Alistair Bruce-Ball is joined by Paul Robinson and Pat Nevin to react to the night’s games.

And are Tottenham lucky to still be unbeaten in the Champions League? Maz Farookhi has the details of their draw with Monaco.

Plus, John Bennett joins us with news of goals for Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
