With a 3-2 victory in Istanbul on Thursday, Galatasaray handed Tottenham their first Europa League loss of the season thanks to two goals from Victor Osimhen, while Manchester United recorded their first victory of the year by defeating PAOK Thessaloniki. Spurs are in seventh place after losing their perfect record, while the Turkish champions, with 10 points from four games, have almost guaranteed their spot in at least the knockout play-off round. “We anticipated that the contest would be challenging. As anticipated, we came upon a team. Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, stated, “They have dangerous players.”
“We were unable to demonstrate our goals in the first half, which is why we lost. In Europe, both teams are performing well.
Yunus Akgun gave Galatasaray the lead in the sixth minute with a spectacular long-range volley into the top corner.
Twelve minutes later, however, the visitors responded when Will Lankshear, a young striker, scored a goal in just his second first-team appearance by tapping in Brennan Johnson’s pass across the six-yard box.
However, Osimhen’s two goals in eight minutes gave Galatasaray the lead before halftime.
Shortly after the interval, the Nigerian player gave them the lead again before deftly volleying Dries Mertens’ cross past Fraser Forster, the Tottenham goalie.
Since coming to Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, Osimhen has already scored six goals in eight games.
Finally, United wins in Europe.
With a header across goal that looped in at the far post early in the second half, the Ivorian winger gave United the lead.
With 13 minutes left, Diallo’s outstanding solo effort gave the home team a much-needed three points after three consecutive draws.
Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy told TNT Sports, “He (Diallo) has been incredible in training, he always trains well and is asking me to do more.”
This weekend’s Premier League visit to Leicester will be Van Nistelrooy’s last game as manager before Ruben Amorim takes over following the international break.
“Sunday is another one and I’m so focused on doing that so I’m not thinking of what is next.”
Pedro scored the game-winning goal in injury time to give Lazio a 2-1 victory over Porto, making them the only club with four victories from four games.
Stephen Eustaquio tied the score for Porto after Alessio Romagnoli given the Romans the lead just before halftime.
After easily defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 5-0, Ajax now sits in second position, two points behind Lazio.
Eintracht Frankfurt, who are now fourth in goals scored behind Galatasaray, defeated Slavia Prague 1-0 thanks to Omar Marmoush’s 13th goal of the season.
Not long after the interval, the Egyptian flicked a fantastic free-kick in off the crossbar.

In a two-minute surge from the Basque club, Nico Serrano and Inaki Williams both scored goals.
Kevin Mac Allister’s goal 13 minutes from time gave Union Saint-Gilloise its second point of the league in a 1-1 draw in Belgium, extending Roma’s dismal play this season.
