• Sheffield United go second after late turnaround, Plymouth continue good home form

  Sheffield United staged a late turnaround to win 2-1 away to Bristol City and go second in the Championship, one point behind leaders Sunderland who play on Wednesday.

  The game started slowly, with the hosts not opening the scoring until a 75th-minute Anis Mehmeti penalty after a foul on Sinclair Armstrong by goalkeeper Michael Cooper.

  The Blades showed great character to haul themselves back into the game, with 18-year-old Ryan One scoring the equaliser in the 86th minute.

  But things went up a notch in stoppage time when Robert Dickie was given a straight red card for a cynical foul on Callum O'Hare 35 yards out.

  The drama wasn't finished yet and with seconds to go, Harrison Burrows smashed home a left-foot rocket to win the game for the Blades.

  At the bottom of the table, Plymouth opened a four-point gap between themselves and the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth.

  The victory means that Wayne Rooney's side have dropped just two points in their last five games at Home Park, having lost six on the bounce in all competitions away.

  It is now four without a victory for Portsmouth, who have earned just nine points in their opening 14 matches back in the Championship.

  Elsewhere, Middlesbrough responded to their 3-0 defeat at home to Coventry City last weekend by beating second-bottom Queens Park Rangers 4-1 on the road.

  That was a first victory in three for Michael Carrick's side, who are one place below the play-off positions and trail only by goal difference.

  QPR are four points behind fourth-bottom Preston North End, having failed to win any of their last 10 league games.

• Liverpool 4-0 Leverkusen: Diaz nets second-half hat-trick to extend 100% start

  Luis Diaz scored a second-half hat-trick for Liverpool in their 4-0 victory at home to Bayer Leverkusen as they maintained their 100% start to their Champions League campaign.

  Arne Slot's side lead the 36-team league within Europe's main competition following the result, with only Aston Villa alongside them as the only other club to have won every game. They play Club Brugge on Wednesday in their fourth match.

  Back in Liverpool, things got off to a slow start with the scores level until the 61st minute. Diaz lifted the ball over goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky to get things moving before Cody Gakpo made it two just two minutes later.

  Gakpo's goal was initially ruled offside by the on-field official, though was overturned following a VAR review.

  Diaz then scored his second and Liverpool's third of the night in the 83rd minute after picking up Mohamed Salah's cross and slotting past Hradecky. The Colombian rounded things off deep into stoppage time with a tap in from close range.

  The result leaves Leverkusen 11th in the table with seven points, having tasted their first defeat of the competition at Anfield.

  Data debrief: Slot has Liverpool purring

  Liverpool are now top of both the Champions League standings and the Premier League and continue to go from strength to strength under Slot.

  They looked much more threatening in the second half compared to the first, registering 3.48 xG in the second period after just 0.64 in the first half.

  Diaz, meanwhile, has now scored nine goals in 15 matches in all competitions.

• Real Madrid 1-3 Milan: Visitors seal statement win against defending champions

  Milan won an away match against the reigning European Champions for the first time after claiming a stunning 3-1 victory against Real Madrid in the Champions League. 

  The result moves Milan up to 18th in the table on six points from their four games, level with Madrid but behind them by one place on goal difference. 

  Malick Thiaw headed the visitors into a 12th minute lead at the Bernabeu, planting a powerful header beyond Andrii Lunin after Christian Pulisic's pinpoint corner kick. 

  But Milan joy was short-lived when Emerson Royal fouled Vinicius Junior in the box 11 minutes later, with the Brazilian stepping up to level the contest from 12 yards. 

  However, Paulo Fonseca's side entered the break with the lead when former Madrid striker Alvaro Morata finished from close range after being the quickest to react to Rafael Leao's spilled effort. 

  Leao was again involved for Milan's third, with his driving run ending with a smart cutback to Tijjani Reijnders, who sealed a statement win for the Rossoneri. 

  Data Debrief: Milan provide Bernabeu fireworks

  After losing their opening two games in the Champions League, Milan showed their credentials on the grandest of stages against Madrid. 

  They were helped by Morata, who haunted his former club once again. The Spaniard has scored in all three of his Champions League games against Madrid, also netting home and away against them with Juventus in 2014-15.

  Pulisic also continued his fine form for Milan. He has now been involved in 11 goals in all competitions this season (seven goals, four assists).

  Among Serie A players, only Atalanta duo Mateo Retegui (14) and Ademola Lookman (12) have been involved in more.

  Carlo Ancelotti has now lost consecutive home games as Madrid manager for the first time, while it’s the first time he’s done so with any side since May 2021 with Everton.
