José Mourinho speaks to TNT Sports after Benfica’s loss:

We played four matches, two game in between matches. I have never trained. I just do recovery. One of my strengths is training, we haven’t had time for that … Some difficulties and big pressure on the players with elections at the club, they cannot escape that.

We were organised, we studied Chelsea well. We coped well with the designs they put on the pitch. Cucurella in between the lines or out wide. And then a difficult moment with three midfielders on a yellow card in a match with quick transactions. Today, we did enough to get a point and we must now find points elsewhere.

As a coach that arrived 10 days ago it is a positive feeling. But the next two matches: Porto away and Newcastle away. It is what it is. I told the guys that Chelsea is better than Porto. The boys did OK.

Sheffield United 1-2 Southampton: The Blades’s manager Chris Wilder was sent off after booting a ball into the crowd (in reaction to his side conceding a penalty which Southampton ended up missing) and hitting one of his own supporters. He went to apologise but he was shown a red regardless.

The visitors came from behind to win all three points after Ross Stewart’s scored in the 51st and 58th minute.

Bodø/Glimt 2-2 Spurs: Frank’s side will be thanking their lucky stars. They were outclassed for most of the match but another late equaliser, an own goal, secured the visitors a point. It will be disappointing for Bodø/Glimt after tremendous goals from Hauge the home town hero.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho’s homecoming ends in defeat after an own goal from Ríos in the first half. It is a very important win for Maresca’s side, who have struggled as of late. It was crucial for them to grind out the win after going ahead and luckily for the hosts, João Pedro’s red card came too close to full-time to make a significant difference on the game.

RED CARD! Cheslea 1-0 Benfica (João Pedro 90+6)

Three out of four games in which a Chelsea player gets sent off. João Pedro, who came on in the second half, is shown a second yellow for a high boot.

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: A yellow card is shown towards the direction of the Benfica bench … Uefa confirm it is to Mourinho. Classic.

Share

Bodø Glimt 2-2 Spurs: After a very long VAR check, the goal stands! Big goal for the visitors.

Share

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-2 Spurs (Gundersen 89og)

Richarlison has barely had a kick of the ball but he gets their equaliser. Gray has a shot that is saved and it is ricocheted off of either the Brazilian or the defender Gundersen … but another VAR check. Was there an offside?

Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Great play from the visitors as they counter after a Spurs corner that ends with Helmersen hitting the woodwork. That is their 16th attempt on the Tottenham goal tonight. Worrying stat for Frank.

Share

Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Odobert hits the post after diving on to head Kudus’s cross. So close!

Share

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 5-1 Frankfurt (Alvarez 82)

An absolute hammering in the Spanish capital. Amenda is judged to have committed a foul after a VAR check and Alvarez makes no mistake from the spot despite Santos getting a hand on his paneka.

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho makes three substitutions. Schjelderup, Ivanovic and Leandro Barreiro come on. Chelsea breaks and Fernández puts a great ball in for Estêvão, who heads it goalwards. Trubin is full stretch as he jumps and tips it over the bar. So close!

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The whistle blows after João Pedro fouls Otamendi but the replay shows the defender going down and holding his face. João Pedro did not touch his face.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The medics are on the pitch for Silva, who was caught by Trubin on the back of the head. He is up on his feet but he will be substituted off for Araújo.

Share

Atlético Madrid and Bayern are running away with wins, the former having just scored through Simeone (their forward not their manager) to make it 4-1 while the German giants are 5-1 up after Olise fired into the roof of the net, having earlier assisted twice.

Share

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs (Van de Ven 68)

It is not over until it is over. A fantastic cross from Porro finds Van de Ven, whose fantastic header is fired into the back of the net. Can Frank’s side kick on now?

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-0 Spurs (Hauge 66)

What a finish! Great little turn and on to his right foot before smashing it past Vicario. A home town hero. But so poor from Spurs who lost the ball moments earlier.

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Gittens, who came on a few minutes ago alongside João Pedro dribbles past a few red shirts but his cross to the right is slightly overhit.

Share

Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs: Spurs win a set-piece in a dangerous area … Porro slams it into the box and Bentancur tries to get it goalward but it is cleared.

Share

Some more goals went in during that VAR drama. Marseille are 4-0 up after Aubameyang goes from provider to goalscorer and Burkardt has smashed one in for Frankfurt.

Share

GOAL DISALLOWED! Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs

Huge cheer as the referee rules that there is no goal. Van de Ven is furious. He is judged to have fouled Bjørtuft by pulling his shirt. Moments later the Spurs captain gets a yellow card for another foul, this time on Auklend. He needs to keep his head here.

Share

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 1-1 Spurs (Bentancur 55)

Spurs immediately respond! It is from a set piece and the hosts are caught sleeping. Johnson gets the ball back into the area after it is half cleared and Bentancur flicks it in. But here we go … a VAR check. The referee heads to the screen.

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs (Hague 53)

It has been coming! Bodø Glimt have their first ever goal in the Champions League and what a finish from Hague. On the left, he skips past a few Spurs shirts and then curls one into the net. Huge noise from the yellow-donning supporters.

Hague was born and raised in the city and played every minute of their European campaign last season. What a moment for him.

Bodø Glimt 0-0 Spurs: The home fans cheer as Spence miscontrols a ball that goes out. Very indicative of their performance so far.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The visitors come close! Aursnes is through on goal from the left hand side but he is tripped over by Sánchez. He was judged to be in an offside position anyway.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: An early yellow card for Buonanotte thought the replay shows he did get the ball before Barrenechea did. The commentators are saying Fernández – who is also on a yellow – was cautioned by the referee to “be careful” in the second half.

Share

We are back underway across the grounds! More goals? Yes, please!

Share

Half-time: I missed a couple goals during a massive rush. Griezmann scored Atlético’s third, his 200th for the club, but it was all made possible due to Alvarez, who beat his man on the left before picking out Griezmann to finish it.

Inter are 2-0 up with their second coming from Dumfries. Thuram found the full-back and all he needed to do was poke it home at the near post.

Bayern are 4-1 up at Pafos, with Kane scoring his second shortly after Jackson scored his first goal for the club. The hosts got one back on the brink of half-time with a sensational top corner shot from Mislav Orsic, who managed to wrongfoot Neuer.

Bodø Glimt 0-0 Spurs: Hague hits the side netting from a low effort after cutting inside. Fet then almost gets the opener after skying a chance from just outside the six-yard box. Spurs getting lucky here.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: A well-worked free-kick routine that lands to Badiashile but his header goes over the bar. The offside flag saves his blushes as he probably should do better from that chance.

Share

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Fernández goes over for a corner kick and he applauds the Benfica fans – the midfielder played there for half a season – but the feeling is not reciprocated. The fans start chucking things his way and Mourinho is forced to walk down the touchline to tell the supporters to stop. The corner leads to nothing.

Share

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 2-0 Frankfurt (Le Normand 33)

The defender is the quickest to react at the back post after Antoinne Griezmann has his flick saved by the goalkeeper. A dominant performance from the Spanish club after their 5-2 hammering of Real Madrid at the weekend.
