Key talking points from Champions League MD5

Champions League Matchday 5 swung from the sublime to the ridiculous for Premier League teams.

Arsenal were a joy to watch against Lens, Manchester United's woes continued, Newcastle were dealt a brutal late blow and Manchester City sealed a thrilling comeback.

We take a look at the key talking points from the penultimate round of group games.

Joy of six

Mikel Arteta showed off the full array of weapons in his Arsenal as six different scorers netted in a rout of Lens.

Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Jorginho bagged a goal apiece to seal top spot in Group B.

Andre's giant mistakes

Goals are also no issue for Erik ten Hag's Red Devils — at one end of the field anyway.

Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay were on target against Galatasaray.

But blunder-prone Andre Onana allowed two soft Hakim Ziyech free-kicks to beat him as a 3-3 draw left United facing a tough task to reach the knockout phase.

Stunning of the Bulls

RB Leipzig proved the old adage that football is a game of two halves.

Leading 2-0 at the break in Manchester thanks to a Lois Opienda double, the Germans saw Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez secure a thrilling comeback win.

VARcical finish for Toon

Newcastle knew they had been drawn in this edition's group of death and were dealt a killer blow on Tuesday.

Referee Szymon Marciniak allowed Paris Saint-Germain talisman Kylian Mbappe the chance to score a late equaliser from the spot after a VAR-prompted handball shout.

That the man who called him to the pitchside monitor has been stood down by UEFA tells you all you need to know about the decision.

Bell a Real ringleader

Jude Bellingham will have gone to sleep with praise ringing in his ears yet again last night.

The English sensation bagged a record-breaking goal and easy-on-the-eye assist as Real Madrid beat Napoli to continue his scintillating start to life at football's biggest club.
