Mikel Arteta’s side laboured to a 1-0 defeat against Man City last weekend, which somewhat halted the momentum of their brilliant start to the season. However, the Gunners still look vastly improved in comparison to the side who were knocked out in the round of 32 by Olympiacos last season.
Rather than the game itself, though, it’s the rumblings of discontent surrounding Mesut Ozil’s exclusion from tonight’s squad that has dominated the build-up to the fixture, with Arteta admitting that while his “conscience is calm”, he has “failed” Ozil by effectively drawing the curtain on the playmaker’s Arsenal career. Follow all the action below:
CELTIC 1-2 MILAN
Milan make two changes. Peter Hauge replaces Brahim Diaz, and Alexis Saelemaekers comes on for Samu Castillejo.
CELTIC 1-2 MILAN
GOAL! Celtic pull one back from a corner. Mohamed Elyounoussi evading several Milan players to head in. Very much game on now.
CELTIC 0-2 MILAN
Celtic have looked more assured since Neil Lennon made a tactical switch, reverting to a back four.
TOTTENHAM 2-0 LASK LINZ
Lucas Moura with a fizzed cross that just evaded Heung-Min Son and Moussa Sissoko to make it 3-0.
CELTIC 0-2 MILAN
Two changes for Milan, Rafael Leao replaces Ibrahimovic, and Ismael Bennacer comes on for Franck Kessie.
CELTIC 0-2 MILAN
First yellow card of the game goes to Diego Laxalt - on loan at Celtic from Milan.
TOTTENHAM 2-0 LASK LINZ
Very nearly another goal for the home side, as a foot race broke out between Bale and Linz goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, who came out the victor on this occasion.
TOTTENHAM 2-0 LASK LINZ
The away side trying to get back into the game, but it’s all fairly comfortable for Spurs.
CELTIC 0-2 MILAN
The second half very much following the pattern of the first. Milan firmly in control.
