Spurs, who beat this team home and away on their way to winning the Europa League last season, were second best for large periods and fell behind early in the second half when Jens Petter Hauge curled a strike into the far corner. Things got even better for the hosts when Hauge superbly turned away from Pedro Porro before hammering a strike into the bottom corner to put the home fans in dreamland. But Micky van de Ven gave Spurs hope when he powerfully headed in Porro's cross and Destiny Udogie crashed a header against the crossbar as they pushed for a leveller. That duly arrived with one minute remaining when the unfortunate Jostein Gundersen turned a cross into his own net. It was a fortunate escape for Tottenham, particularly after Kasper Hogh had blazed a penalty over the bar in the first half.

The France captain slotted a penalty into the bottom corner early on after home goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza came flying out of his area and took out Franco Mastantuono. He doubled his tally in the 52nd minute when he latched on to Thibaut Courtois' ball over the top and dinked it over Kalmurza. In the 67th minute Valeri Gromyko appeared to be fouled by Dani Ceballos, with a penalty awarded to Kairat, but the decision was overturned after a VAR check. Despite missing an excellent chance to seal his hat-trick when he sent the ball wide with the goal gaping, Mbappe did eventually finish from close range to complete his treble. Substitutes Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Diaz both scored to complete the rout in the closing stages. Camavinga headed home from close range and Diaz slotted into the bottom corner from Gonzalo Garcia's pass as Kairat fell to their heaviest defeat in European competition. It was a much-needed win for Xabi Alonso's side after a 5-2 humbling by city rivals Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Saturday. Mbappe's goals were his 58th, 59th and 60th in the Champions League and meant he overtook former Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller to become the sixth highest scorer in the competition's history.

His first came when he latched on to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's pass to slot into the bottom corner. The Brazilian forward netted again from 20 yards after Ajax captain Davy Klaassen carelessly lost possession. Aubameyang provided his second assist of the game, poking the ball into the path of Mason Greenwood who finished from close range as Marseille went 3-0 up after 26 minutes. Ajax conceded a fourth goal when Oscar Gloukh's free-kick led to a Marseille counter-attack which was finished by Aubameyang. Paixao is the first Marseille player to score twice in a Champions League game since Dimitri Payet against Olympiacos in December 2020. Ajax had just two shots on target and were thoroughly outplayed by Roberto de Zerbi's side as they suffered their second Champions League defeat in as many games.

Manager Diego Simeone was watching on from the stands after being given a one-match touchline suspension by Uefa for "unsporting conduct" in the 3-2 loss to Liverpool. Atleti needed just four minutes to find the back of the net with Giacomo Raspadori slotting home Giuliano Simeone's cutback. The Spaniards doubled their lead at the Metropolitano when defender Robin Le Normand struck from Julian Alvarez's corner. Then, on the stroke of half-time, Alvarez's stunning mazy run was finished off by former France forward Griezmann, before he celebrated by holding up a 'Grizi 200' shirt to the crowd. Griezmann almost had another in the second half, but it was ruled out for handball. Jonathan Burkardt responded for the Bundesliga side to make it 3-1, his effort taking a wicked deflection off Marcus Llorente, but Atleti reinstated their three-goal lead when Simeone ghosted in at the back post to finish. With 10 minutes remaining, Alvarez added to his two assists with a stunning Panenka penalty after the ball struck Aurele Amenda's hand. Up next for Simeone's side is a trip to Arsenal, while Frankfurt host Premier League champions Liverpool.

Such is the affection Chelsea fans have for Mourinho they serenaded him before and during the encounter. Mourinho, who replaced former Wolves boss Bruno Lage 12 days ago, responded by waving to both ends of the ground. But he would doubtless have preferred Benfica not to provide a present to their hosts as Colombian midfielder Rios could not get out of the way when Alejandro Garnacho sent Pedro Neto's-far post cross fizzing back into the six-yard area, giving goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin no chance of keeping the ball out. There was frustration for the Blues though as well, with subsitute Joao Pedro sent off in the sixth minute of stoppage time for a second yellow card. It was Chelsea's third red card in four games, although at least this time it happened too late to affect the outcome, as was the case against Manchester United and Brighton over the past couple of weeks. Although they dominated possession and had more shots than their opponents, Chelsea hardly threatened the Benfica goal, with Garnacho wasting a couple of opportunities on his second start for his new club. Teenage substitute Estevao Willian did eventually force Trubin into a decent save near the end as he stretched for a header. It was Chelsea's first victory in the Champions League since March 2023. More importantly, it ended a poor sequence of results in a month where their only victory came in the EFL Cup at League One Lincoln and provides Enzo Maresca some breathing space before Saturday's Premier League encounter with Liverpool.
