Man United end winless in Europe and Osimhen scores 2 as Galatasaray beat Tottenham

By JAMES ROBSON Associated Press

MANCHESTER, England (AP) – Manchester United secured its first win in Europe in more than a year by beating PAOK 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.

Two second-half goals from Amad Diallo sealed victory at Old Trafford and boosted United’s hopes of progressing in the competition, while Tottenham’s 100% start ended with a 3-2 loss at Galatasaray.

United’s last win in Europe was against Copenhagen in the Champions League on 24 October last year.

“We addressed it in the dressing room and it was time to change it, so we did,” United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy said.

Diallo’s header beat PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski in the 50th minute and he followed that up with a deflected shot from outside the area that nestled into the bottom corner in the 77th.

It’s two wins from three games for United under Van Nistelrooy, who has one more game – against Leicester on Sunday – before handing over to Ruben Amorim.

It is not clear whether there will be a role for the Dutchman after his interim reign, but he is doing what he can to ensure United are in the best possible position when Amorim takes charge.

Erik ten Hag was sacked last week after a dismal start to the campaign left the team 14th in the Premier League and winless in Europe’s secondary competition the Europa League.

Amorim was quickly appointed in his place, but it has been left to Van Nistelrooy to fill the gap while the Portuguese serves out a notice period at Sporting Lisbon.

He has delivered wins in the English League Cup and Europa League either side of a tie with Chelsea in the league.

Osimhen double

Earlier, Victor Osimhen scored twice in eight minutes to help Galatasaray beat Tottenham 3-2 in Turkey.

Osimhen scored his first goal in Europe for Galatasaray following his move from Napoli with an accurate low shot inside the right post to give the hosts a 2-1 lead in the 31st minute and added his second eight minutes later by heading in a curling cross home from the right by Dries Mertens.

It was Tottenham’s first loss in the competition after three wins. Galatasaray remain unbeaten with three wins and a draw.

Each game on Thursday was preceded by a moment of silence to honor the victims of the devastating floods in Spain.

In Istanbul, Yunus Akgün put Galatasary ahead in the sixth minute when Spurs failed to properly clear a Mertens free-kick and the midfielder volleyed home from outside the area past goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Tottenham equalized in the 19th minute through Will Lankshear, who was making only his second senior appearance for the London club, scoring from close range after a cross from Brennan Johnson. However, Lankshear was later sent off for a second yellow card on the hour.

Substitute Dominic Solanke pulled a goal back for Tottenham with a backheel finish in the 69th.

Lazio perfect

Lazio are the only team to maintain a perfect record with four wins after Pedro Rodríguez scored in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory over Porto.

Ajax had five different goalscorers in a 5-0 rout of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, while three substitutes scored for Alkmaar in its 3-1 win over Fenerbahce, the first loss in the competition for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Latvia’s RFS salvaged a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht with a stoppage-time equalizer as the Belgian side dropped points for the first time.

Earlier, Eintracht Frankfurt beat Slavia Prague 1-0 thanks to Omar Marmoush’s second-half goal, while Roma were held to a 1-1 draw at Union Saint-Gilloise, another disappointing result after a 3-2 loss to Hellas Verona in Serie A in the weekend.

Rangers held last year’s Conference League champions Olympiacos to a 1-1 draw in Greece.

Athletic Bilbao beat Ludogorets 2-1 to remain unbeaten with three wins and a draw, while Qarabag upset Bodø/Glimt 3-1 in Norway to earn its first points.

Nice drew 2-2 with Twente, with both teams ending the match reduced to 10 men.

Conference League

Chelsea destroyed Armenian club Noah 8-0 to set a record for the biggest win in the Conference League in the third tier.

Chelsea led 6-0 in the first half after two goals from João Félix and a piece from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi and Mykhailo Mudryk. Christopher Nkunku added two more in the second half, the second from the spot.

Nordsjaelland held the previous record when they beat Ludogorets 7-1 last season.

Chelsea are one of six teams with three wins from three games.

Vitória beat Mladá Boleslav 2-1, Jagellonia defeated Molde 3-0 and Heidenheim won 2-0 at Hearts.

Earlier, Legia Warszawa dispatched Dinamo Minsk 4-0, and SK Rapid got past Petrocub 3-0.
