Osimhen's goal was not enough as Napoli stunned at home by Spartak Moscow
A 94 mins strike by In-form striker Victor Osimhen was not enough to prevent Napoli from suffering defeat in Naples. The frontman who came on from the bench has been scintillating form this season. He has scored seven goals in his last five matches in September. The Italian club is down to third in the group having taken only a point from two games.
Napoli took the lead in the first mins but was reduced to ten men after Mario Rui was red-carded. Three second-half goals by Spartak Moscow turned the game on its head. And neither Sparktak's Caufriez red card nor Osimhen goal could prevent Napoli from suffering their first defeat of the season.
Leicester's poor form in Europe continues as they lost to Mahir Emreli strike
Kelechi Ihenacho was absent as Leceister's poor form in Europe continued with a 1-0 loss to Legia Warsaw. The Nigerian forward was turned away by Polish border control due to an issue with his travel documents. The foxes were poor in the first half and it took the introduction of Maddison and Barnes before they improved. Brendan Rodgers made six changes to the team that drew Burnley in the weekend and it showed in their gameplay
Legia took the lead after Emreli outmuscled Amartey at the edge of the area before shooting home via the post. And the closest Leceister came to level the scores was a Perez goal that was ruled out for foul elsewhere.
Harry Kane scores a hat-trick in a five star performance by Spurs

Reguilon and Alli were the only players to retain their places, it was the Englishman who gave Spurs the lead. Dane Scarlett flick in the 3rd mins released Alli on goal before he was brought down by Mura's Goalkeeper Obradovic. The Englishman of Nigerian descent took the resulting penalty himself and gave the host the lead.
Giovani Lo Celso shot towards the top corner in the 8 mins and doubled Tottenham's Lead till halftime. Eight minutes into the second half, NS Mura halves the deficit as Kous sent a stunning volley past Gollini.
The goal prompted the introduction of Kane, Son and Moura by Nuno, and Kane doubled the lead within 9 mins. He ran onto a Moura through pass and finished past Obradovic, scoring his second in the 76 mins. He completed his magic and Hat-trick in the 88 mins from Lo Celso's assist.
