Jadon Sancho endured a difficult night on a rare start for Aston Villa as former player Stiliyan Petrov criticised the Manchester United loanee for failing to take his chance in Thursday's 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. Sancho's subdued display left the former club captain "disappointed" with renewed doubts over his long-term Premier League future.
Morgan Gibbs-White helped Nottingham Forest to a welcome win under new manager Sean Dyche and admitted afterwards that it feels like he and the rest of the Reds squad can "finally breathe" as they put Ange Postecoglou's disastrous spell as head coach behind them. Dyche's first game at the helm delivered an impressive 2-0 victory over Porto in the Europa League.
Tanner Tessmann scored his first European goal on Thursday as the U.S. men's national team midfielder smashed in a long-range finish for Lyon. The goal, ultimately, proved all Lyon would need in a 1-0 win over FC Utrecht to kickstart their Europa League run. The Ligue 1 side sit ninth on the Europa League table on goal differential.
