3 goals in 9 Minutes for Genk, with both rotation players on scoresheet! Camavinga and Gravenberch will find it hard to get back into the team at this rate! Can they last the 90 minutes...

Things not started brilliantly at Plymouth - should be dealing with a Salah header - oh well lots of time to get back into the game. Plymouth finally settled on a strategy so needs some time to get consistency in the mix...

*a weaving, jinxing run down the right by Neymar who slides it inside to Llorente, who drags the ball beyond the defender with Hulk 1v1 receives a short pass from Llorente who then hits a wicked Shot that thunders in off the far post and over the line...  

Could Hulks time at Botafogo be drawing to a close... surely the Clinical forward will be looking to finish the season on a High.

*Shawzinho adds his 2nd goal in two games. Ball is won back by Rice who plays in inside to Partey who lofts a ball up Abrahams who lays it off to Maddison who sees Shaw arriving on the edge of the box and plays a clever through ball and with a perfect first touch sets himself up to squeeze under the charging Lloris...

*Saul receives the ball in midfield after a bit of a touch tackle. Who the let's Tete loose in the left, who whips in a cross to Hulk who with his back to goal, lays it off to Neymar who chips the keeper from some distance! The audacity...

*Musiala involved in his 2nd goal for Leverkusen, causing all sorts of problems for the defence and on this occasion only way to stop him is to bring him down with a reckless challenge which I'm sure the ref will keep a eye on. Nainggolan goes for power on this occasion and just puts his laces through and as the wall jumps a gap opens as the ball whistles through and into the net, the goalkeeper was blinded by his own team. No chance!

Great to see Independiente winning but Atletico need to step things up - can't afford to be dropping points with Real winning again - a draw not the end of the world though but a win would be ideal!
