Leon Bailey was important for Leverkusen with two hits, which came to six points in group C with the win and is second behind Slavia Prague. Florian Wirtz also scored for the Germans and defender Or Dadia van Hapoel gave Leverkusen a goal by working the ball into his own goal.

Lille gives a revived AC Milan first defeat this season

AC Milan has lost a match for the first time this season. The surprising leader from the Italian league went down on Thursday in the Europa League with clear figures against Lille, the current number two from France: 0-3.

It was the twelfth official game for Milan since football started again in mid-September. Both in Europe (preliminary rounds and main tournament) and in the competition, the team of trainer Stefano Pioli went very well. In Serie A, the lead on number two Sassuolo is two points after six games.

Lille convincingly ended the unbeaten series. Turk Yusuf Yazici scored all goals, the first from a penalty kick. Sven Botman had a basic place at Lille and he and his teammates made sure that Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not score. The Swedish forward was replaced after an hour of play.

In the same group Celtic lost to Sparta Prague: 1-4. Lille leads after three rounds with seven points, Milan is second with six points.

Arsenal

In group B, Arsenal in London was 4-1 too strong for Molde FK from Norway. Coach Mikel Arteta’s team has the next round in sight with nine points. Molde remains on six points and is second. Leicester City followed the example of Arsenal in group G and won 4-0 against the Portuguese SC Braga. Leicester also has nine points after three matches.
