Arsenal scored three goals in seven second-half minutes to defeat Lille 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, according to France 24. Jurrien Timber scored the opening goal shortly after the hour mark, before Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka added two more to secure the victory. [1]

France 24 reported that the win moves Arsenal into a share of the lead at the top of the Champions League table alongside Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon under manager Mikel Arteta. The result maintains Arsenal's perfect start to their Champions League campaign. [1][14]

In Spain, Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Al Jazeera and France 24 reported. Pablo Barrios scored inside the first minute for manager Diego Simeone's team. Manchester United's Leny Yoro was sent off with a red card in the 74th minute, after which Ademola Lookman scored Atletico's second goal. [1][2][12][15]

The defeat leaves Manchester United manager Michael Carrick under growing pressure, according to reports from Al Jazeera, France 24, AOL.com, and The Irish Times.
