Liverpool moved into a commanding position in their match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening as Alexis Mac Allister struck in the 50th minute to make it 2-1 at Anfield. The result follows a dominant performance from PSG, who overwhelmed Slovan Bratislava 4-0, and a surprising first-half setback for Chelsea, who fell behind 1-0 to Leeds United.
Mac Allister’s goal came shortly after Dominik Szoboszlai had cancelled out Juanfran Llorente’s opening strike for Atletico. Ngumoha provided the assist, delivering a precise pass from the left flank that Mac Allister finished clinically into the near corner.
At the other end of the scoreboard, PSG displayed overwhelming superiority in Paris. Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring in the 17th minute, followed by a second header in the 23rd. Ferran Torres added two more goals, including a curling effort in the 31st and a stylish finish following a skillful run in the 47th minute, sealing a comprehensive victory over Slovan Bratislava.
In London, Leeds United took a shock lead against Chelsea through Tarik Muharemovic, whose header from a corner in the 23rd minute gave the visitors a 1-0 advantage at halftime. Chelsea manager Enzo Alonso faces a difficult second half after the home side conceded so early.
Other notable results included Sporting CP drawing 1-1 with Galatasaray, thanks to a goal from Catamo, and a goalless stalemate between Napoli and Arsenal at the Diego Maradona Stadium.
Mac Allister always steps up in big moments. His clinical finish made all the difference against Atletico.
Wait, Napoli and Arsenal drew? That seems like a huge waste of both teams’ creative energy.
PSG’s attack is absolutely ruthless tonight. Dembele and Torres combining for four goals is scary stuff.
Leeds stunning Chelsea is the result of the night! Enzo Alonso is in deep trouble already.
