The Chelsea defender headed in after 51st minutes of his 98th appearance since joining in 2023. Striker Joao Pedro added a second goal, and Pedro Neto completed the scoring. Yet Chelsea had found it hard to create clear chances against Wolves in the first half, and some fans at Stamford Bridge booed the team at half-time. But Chelsea did not allow Wolves - led temporarily by academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker until the expected appointment of Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards - a shot before the interval. Meanwhile, Chelsea had multiple efforts saved from Alejandro Garnacho and Enzo Fernandez, with Joao Pedro going closest when he dragged an effort just wide before half-time. After a frustrating half, Gusto headed in the first goal from close range at the far post after a cross from Garnacho. Substitute Estevao Willian had been on the pitch for just 68 seconds before he set up his fellow Brazilian Joao Pedro for the second goal. Garnacho then started a counter-attack and crossed for Neto to make it 3-0. It was an impressive outing for Garnacho, signed for £40m from Manchester United in the summer, especially having scored midweek to seal a 2-2 draw at Qarabag, as he delivered two assists for the first time in 99 Premier League matches. The only shots of note from Wolves after they were 2-0 down included a 30-yard effort by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and a strike from substitute Marshall Munetsi after a poor Marc Cucurella backpass. Chelsea move second after 11 games on 20 points, while Wolves remain bottom with just two points.

A 2-2 draw with Parma leaves Milan level with Napoli on 22 points having played one game more. Alexis Saelemaekers put Milan ahead in the 12th minute with a well-placed strike from the edge of the penalty area before the Belgian midfielder won a penalty that Rafael Leao coolly converted. Milan looked in complete control until Parma's Adrian Bernabe found the top corner with a curling strike to half the deficit in first-half stoppage time. Parma started the second half strongly and seconds after Mateo Pellegrino hit the crossbar, Enrico Delprato beat Mike Maignan to a cross to head the hosts level in the 62nd minute. Christian Pulisic should have put the rossoneri back in front but he fired wide with only Zion Suzuki to beat before Saelemaekers missed the target after rounding the Parma goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Juventus' inconsistent start to the season continued as they were held to a goalless draw by Torino in Luciano Spalletti's third match in charge. After taking 22 shots but failing to find a way past Alberto Paleari in the Torino goal, Juventus are fifth in the table with 19 points.

Ian Maatsen's opener and Donyell Malen's penalty gave Unai Emery's side victory in a game that followed pre-match protests at Villa Park, with no fans of the visiting Israeli team allowed inside the ground. Maccabi manager Zarko Lazetic explained afterwards that his squad had arrived five hours before kick-off on police advice. Villa are sixth in the league phase table after four games, having secured the positive result that head coach Emery wanted following last month's defeat at Go Ahead Eagles. Yet the hosts struggled at times in a largely tepid display as Maccabi did more than just frustrate. Osher Davida's effort deflected inches wide while Dor Peretz shot straight at Emi Martinez from a golden chance. Villa, who lost at Liverpool on Saturday, flattered to deceive even after Maatsen squeezed in the opening goal from a tight angle in first-half stoppage time. Martinez needed to save from Peretz again after the break. Malen then sealed victory from the spot after Villa were awarded a penalty, despite Ezri Konsa falling over his own feet.

Danny Rohl's side were booed off at half-time with a two-goal deficit which could easily have been greater had it not been for goalkeeper Jack Butland and some narrow misses from the Italians. A fabulous second goal 10 minutes from the break effectively ended the match as a contest, when Lorenzo Pellegrini beautifully stroked home after a lovely, patient Roma move. This was after he had delivered a wicked early corner, which was flicked in the direction of impressive Argentine striker Matias Soule to nod into an unguarded net and put the Serie A side ahead. With Rangers two down, memories of the Champions League qualifying battering from Club Brugge here in mid-August were coming to mind. The Ibrox side had struggled to work goalkeeper Mile Svilar, although his defenders did protect him from a couple of decent opportunities created by the trickery of Djeidi Gassama. The Serbian keeper did see some action after the break as Rangers improved markedly and pressed further up the pitch. However, they couldn't find a clinical edge, with big-money summer signing Youssef Chermiti spurning a couple of chances and substitutes Danilo and Bojan Miovski unable to make any real impact. Defeat leaves Rangers rooted to the bottom of the Europa League table with a mountain to climb in the competition if they have any hope whatsoever of reaching the knockout stages. For Roma, this was a comfortable evening's work. They will wonder how they didn't score more, especially when Zeki Celik managed to hit the crossbar from virtually the goal-line with Butland stranded. But they won't be overly worried as their second win in the competition moves them up to 18th in the table.

The 73-year-old, who had overseen two wins since replacing Brendan Rodgers at the Scottish champions, was under no illusions of the scale of the challenge facing his rejuvenated side, with the Danes already having defeated Nottingham Forrest. No matter how prepared he thought he was, O'Neill - along with many others – must have been blown away by the ferocious first half from the hosts. By the time Martin Erlic nodded in the opener, Midtjylland could have been out of sight, such was their dominance. Their deserved advantage was doubled within two minutes as Mikel Kruger-Johnsen escaped the attentions of the Celtic defence and sumptuously lifted a stunning finish into the far corner of the net. Shocked, spooked and then static, Celtic stood like statues as the fantastic Franculino Dju fired in a third before the break. The second-half assignment was one of damage limitation, and though the scoreline suggested that mission was accomplished, it was a mystery how Midtjylland didn't score more goals. Instead, out of nowhere, Celtic clawed one back as Callum Osmand - who later left the pitch on a stretcher - was felled by Erlic with 10 minutes remaining. Reo Hatate's smart penalty sparked something within the visiting ranks, but as has been the issue, long before O'Neill's return, it was too little, too late. And it leaves Celtic outside the qualification places for the knockout stage of the competition at the halfway point.
