Victor Osimhen scored twice to inflict a first Europa League defeat on 10-player Tottenham and earn a 3-2 victory for wasteful Galatasaray.

Spurs conceded 28 shots and had just five of their own yet escaped from Istanbul with a respectable scoreline despite having Will Lankshear sent off in the second half.

Galatasaray stormed into a sixth-minute lead when Yunus Akgun's stunning volley from the edge of the box crashed into the top-right corner but Spurs responded through 19-year-old striker Lankshear, who tapped in his first goal for the club after Brennan Johnson had squared a cross.

However, the visitors were vulnerable at the back throughout with Osimhen forcing a good save from Forster and then having a goal ruled out for offside before restoring his side's lead with a clever toe-poke after Radu Dragusin gave the ball away.

Forster saved again from Osimhen but just 60 seconds later the striker netted his second of the first half with a cushioned volley from Dries Mertens' perfect cross.

Ange Postecoglou brought on Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur for Brennan Johnson and Heung-Min Son at half-time - but Spurs got worse. Abdulkerim Bardakci had a goalbound shot blocked after Forster dropped an easy cross before Akgun's volley was deflected inches wide and Osimhen missed two chances.

Lankshear then picked up his second yellow card, just seven minutes after his first, for a silly tackle on the halfway line and then Forster made two more saves.

Solanke, though, cleverly flicked Pedro Porro's low pullback into the net against the run of play to put Spurs within one goal and Kulusevski could have equalised in injury-time when his long-range shot rolled wide with goalkeeper Fernando Muslera way out of his goal.

Postecoglou: Defeat was self-inflicted, Lankshear will learn from red

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said:

"I just felt it was self-inflicted. We had really simple solutions out there to keep the ball. It wasn't that hard. We showed it with 10 men. We just needed to be stronger on the ball and play the kind of football we play every week.

"Maybe it was a little bit the changes I made and the environment and atmosphere, but the moments that stick out to me was giving the ball away. We were playing through them quite easily with 10 men but with 11 men we had nowhere near that conviction and that was disappointing."

On Will Lankshear: "Will took his goal well, he worked hard for the team. He hasn't had a lot of experience at senior football so he would have learnt a lot today. The red card, it was a bit of overenthusiasm in that moment to give away a foul, but he'll learn from that."

Opta Stats: Osimhen loves facing English opposition

Galatasaray have won three of their opening four games in a major European campaign for the first time since 2009-10, also in the Europa League.

Tottenham faced 28 shots in their loss to Galatasaray, their most in a game under manager Ange Postecoglou; it is the most efforts faced by an English team in a Europa League group stage match since Everton faced 39 shots against Wolfsburg in November 2014.

Victor Osimhen has scored 12 goals across his 23 starts in major European competition, netting more times against English opposition than any other nation (2 vs Tottenham, 2 vs Leicester, 1 vs Chelsea).

Tottenham's Will Lankshear (19y 201d) became the third youngest player to both score and be sent off in a Europa League game after Aleksandar Mitrovic for Partizan Belgrade in November 2012 (18y 67d) and Federico Chiesa for Fiorentina in December 2016 (19y 44d).

Five minutes to go...

A reminder of team news as we approach kick-off at the Molineux Stadium...

Maybe too loud at the Molineux?

Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:

"It's loud at the Molineux. But not because the atmosphere is rocking, the speakers are just very loud.

"Some might even say overwhelming."

Saints struggling in front of goal

Southampton have scored just seven goals in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side.

Indeed, Saints have scored more goals in their three EFL Cup matches this term (9) than they have in their 10 league games.

Warm reception for Neves

Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:

"Ruben Neves is shown on the big screen and the South Bank stand erupts into chants of his name.

"Really warm reception for the former midfielder."

Wolves under fire

Only Brentford (74) have faced more shots on target than Wolves in the Premier League this season (67).

Only in 2011-12 (7) have they averaged more shots on target faced per game in a single campaign in the competition than their 6.7 so far this term.

Last time out: Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace saw a late goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta ruled out as Wolves held on to a 1-1 draw at the Molineux.

Last time out: Southampton 1-0 Everton

Southampton secured their first win of the season against Everton in their last outing.

The difference a win can make...

Southampton boss Russell Martin is all smiles ahead of kick-off...

Both teams will be looking to secure a vital three points in the bid to avoid relegation this season.

Wolves are going in search of their first win in the Premier League campaign, while Southampton will be eager to build on the victory against Everton.

WATCH: Carsley discusses Harwood-Bellis England call-up

Interim England boss Lee Carsley has explained why he decided to give Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis his maiden call-up to the England squad.

Saints goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has also returned to the Three Lions for the first time since Euro 2024.

Cunha impressing despite Wolves' struggles

Can Wolves turn their poor start around?

Wolves remain winless in their 10 Premier League games so far this season (D3 L7) – only in 1983-84 have they ever had a longer run without a win from the start of a league campaign (14), going on to finish bottom of the top-flight that season.

O'Neil: We are desperate to end the run

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil speaking in his programme notes:

"Similar to ourselves, Southampton have had a difficult start to their season and I know exactly what Russell has been going through, as well as how delighted and relieved he must have been feeling at full-time of their win over Everton last weekend.

"That is a feeling we are desperate to experience, and I can assure fans that we have been doing everything we can to try bring our unwanted run to an end this weekend."

Neves in attendance

Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:

"Former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves - who left the club to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal in 2023 - is in attendance today.

"He's currently walking around on crutches after undergoing surgery to solve a knee issue which will rule him out until the New Year.

"People are lining up for conversations with him. Still a very popular clearly!"

A low-scoring affair?

Fulham’s five Premier League away games this season have seen just 11 goals scored (F5 A6) – only Arsenal’s (10) and Manchester United’s (9) games on the road have produced fewer.

Meanwhile, despite having had the seventh-highest number of shots in the Premier League this season (145), Crystal Palace have had fewer big chances than any other side so far this term (18).

One to watch: Emile Smith Rowe

Palace down to bare bones

Sky Sports' Peter Smith at Selhurst Park:

"In contrast to Fulham's array of attacking options off the bench, Palace are down to the bare bones.

"Their substitute options include two goalkeepers and three teenagers.

"Left winger Asher Agbinone (19), centre forward Zach Marsh (19) and right-back Caleb Kporha (18) will be hoping for a run out to join fellow youngster Justin Devenny on the pitch at Selhurst today."

Palace aiming to end win wait vs Fulham

Crystal Palace are winless in their last five Premier League games against Fulham (D4 L1), with each of the last three meetings ending in a draw.

Wilson among Fulham's threats from the bench

Sky Sports' Peter Smith at Selhurst Park:

"It's tough on Wilson not to get a start this afternoon after his brilliant injury-time double won the match for Fulham against Brentford on Monday night.

"I was there and I've never heard Craven Cottage so loud as when he headed (or should that be shouldered!) in the winner to complete the turnaround.

"Marco Silva will be hoping his Fulham side can take that momentum into today's match. They will certainly have threat on the bench if they need it with Wilson, Adama Traore and Rodrigo Muniz among their options."

Jones Knows: Low-scoring draw at Selhurst

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

It's a shame the market has given much more respect to Fulham than usual here as I was hoping to nick another nice price on their win chances. Both teams are priced up at 8/5 with Sky Bet for the win.

Fulham are priced up as the better team with the away factor thrown into the mix so I can let them win at those prices.

Plus, Palace are improving.

Oliver Glasner has got his team functioning out of possession now with their press but goals are going to be a problem without Eberechi Eze. They have only scored eight goals all season anyway, with their games averaging just 2.10 goals per game. No team have created fewer big chances either (18).

Fulham aren't exactly blessed with a plethora of natural finishers, though, and six of their seven games across all competitions have fallen under the 2.5 goals line. That's the bet here at 5/6 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Under 2.5 goals (5/6 with Sky Bet)

Two changes for Palace, same XI for Fulham

Crystal Palace have made two changes to the side which drew with Wolves last weekend, with Justin Devenny making his debut in midfield in place of the suspended Will Hughes.

Eddie Nketiah is out with a well-documented hamstring issue and Nathaniel Clyne is the one to come into the XI for Oliver Glasner's injury-hit side. A change of shape for Palace?

Meanwhile, Fulham name the same side which beat Brentford on Monday, meaning Harry Wilson is once again on the bench despite his injury-time heroics at Craven Cottage.

Who is Justin Devenny?

Justin Devenny makes his first start for Crystal Palace today.

The 21-year-old midfielder is captain of the Palace youth team and plays for Northern Ireland U21s.

He joined the club from Scottish Championship side Airdrieonians in 2023 and has since impressed for Palace's U21s.

After being included in Palace's pre-season tour and then on the bench against Chelsea in September, he gets a chance to show what he can do at Selhurst Park today...

Last time out: Palace in action-packed draw at Wolves

Good afternoon!

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Crystal Palace vs Fulham from Selhurst Park!

It's a second London derby in the space of a week for Marco Silva's side - let's hope for the same amount of excitement and drama we saw in their 2-1 win over Brentford on Monday night!

Meanwhile, Palace will be hoping to maintain their recent much-needed run of positive results.

Lukic still out for Fulham

Sasa Lukic (shoulder) remains sidelined for Fulham, but boss Marco Silva faces no fresh injury concerns.

Harry Wilson could earn his first Premier League start of the season after scoring a winning brace against Brentford on Monday night.

Can Palace build on resurgence?

Glasner said he was aware of rumours that Nketiah suffered his injury whilst working with a private trainer away from the team.

But the Austrian brushed those aside, saying: “I heard about it and I talked to Eddie after the game, and he mentioned that he feels a little bit his hamstring, then we made a scan and we saw it’s a bit more serious than expected.

“I always trust my players, so why should I trust a strange source more than my player? So I talked to Eddie and it’s fine.”

Saturday’s contest will also mark Joachim Andersen’s first return to Selhurst Park since joining Fulham in the summer, the Dane in contrast part of a near fully-fit squad for Fulham boss Marco Silva.

Palace snapped an eight-game winless streak with victory against Tottenham late last month before beating Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup last-16 and drawing with Wolves last weekend, but still find themselves hovering just clear of the relegation zone.

Glasner added: “It’s about the team performance, so yes, I would like to have everybody available so I think especially in this phase of the year, and when I look forward to the schedule in December and January, I think it’s a challenge for every club.

“We still have players. We still have a squad of 20 outfield players, we have good youngsters from the academy.

“We will have a very competitive squad tomorrow and we go for the win.”

Kick-off just around the corner. Stick with us...

How the teams line up

More goals, please

Brentford’s last two Premier League home games have seen them beat Wolves 5-3 and Ipswich 4-3 – no team in English Football League history has won three consecutive home games while conceding 3+ goals each time.

Should Iraola have stuck with Travers over Kepa?

Sky Sports' Zinny Boswell at the Gtech Community Stadium:

"Bournemouth have been indebted to Mark Travers in their past two games against Man City and Aston Villa, but now Kepa has returned to fitness, the deputy has lost his place.

"His point-blank save in added time to deny Erling Haaland ensured Bournemouth claimed a huge victory over the champions Man City last week.

"The game before he won player of the match for his heroics in a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. His fine work keeping Bournemouth in the game, before Evanilson nodded in a stoppage-time equaliser.

"Seems harsh to drop Travers after all that. All eyes on how Kepa performs on his return from injury."

Last time out for Brentford

Harry Wilson ensured that Fulham came away from the west London derby with the bragging rights on Monday Night Football. Re-live the game with our free highlights package.

Did you know?

Brentford have dropped a league-high 14 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, losing 2-1 against Fulham last time out despite leading into second half stoppage time.

Indeed, the Bees have lost the most such points since their first ever Premier League campaign in 2021-22 (67).

Jones Knows with 'the bet of the weekend'

Brentford are a team that make my job easy. There is a simple formula to apply when it comes to analysing their matches - trust them at home, abandon them on the road.

And the same can be said for Bournemouth, making the case for a Brentford win an easy call to advise when assessing the 7/5 on offer with Sky Bet. It's bet of the weekend material.

The Bees have only lost one of their last 11 home Premier League games, winning four of the last five. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have just one away win from their last seven and have only scored more than once in one of their last 10 road games.

The Bees are a dogged and determined defensive outfit to break down when set up in their low block - and this is exactly the type of defence Andoni Iraola's side have problems against. The draw no bet option on Brentford at 4/5 with Sky Bet looks a cracker.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Brentford draw no bet (4/5 with Sky Bet)

Big day for Adams

Sky Sports' Zinny Boswell at the Gtech Community Stadium:

"It's a big day for Tyler Adams, he is starting his first club match since March. Injury has blighted most of his time at Bournemouth.

"The USA midfielder managed just three Premier League appearances last season because of hamstring and back issues.

"Those back problems have continued to hamper him this season, limiting him to two appearances off the bench, but he now starts for the first time this season.

"Adams will be looking to put those injury issues behind him and building up a bit of a run in this exciting Bournemouth team. He's endured such bad luck since signing from Leeds in the summer of 2023."

Is this how the teams shape up?

Opta have Brentford playing in a back three this afternoon. Let's see if that's how they shape up in an hour.

Jensen starts for Brentford

Mathias Jensen is the only change Thomas Frank has made to his Brentford side this afternoon, replacing Mads Roerslev.

Vitaly Janelt is likely to slot in at left-back as a result.

Adams makes first start of the season for Bournemouth

Tyler Adams makes his first start of the season for Bournemouth after a back injury kept him out for the beginning of the campaign.

Adams comes in for Marcus Tavernier, alongside Lewis Cook in midfield, which will likely see Ryan Christie pushed into a more advanced role.

Kepa Arrizabalaga returns in goal after an injury of his own, replacing Mark Travers who has to settle for a place on the bench.

Bournemouth team news

Team to face Brentford: Kepa, Smith, Senesi, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Adams, Christie, Cook, Semenyo, Kluivert, Evanilson.

Subs: Travers, Huijsen, Brooks, Tavernier, Araujo, Hill, Enes Unal, Philip, Aarons.

Early Bournemouth team news

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is without wingers Luis Sinisterra and Dango Ouattara.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga could return from injury, but Alex Scott remains out with a knee issue.

Early Brentford team news

Igor Thiago is stepping up his recovery from injury and is expected to participate in a behind-closed-doors friendly next week. Teenage summer-signing Gustavo Nunes is also set to feature in that game.

Defenders Kristoffer Ajer and Rico Henry will not be available for today's game against Bournemouth, while Aaron Hickey and Josh Dasilva are longer-term absentees.

Welcome!

Brentford are back in action at the Gtech and hoping to bounce back from derby day defeat to Fulham as they welcome Bournemouth to west London this afternoon.

Victory was just minutes away against Fulham, until Harry Wilson scored twice off the bench in stoppage-time to turn the game on its head.

Thomas Frank and his side will feel confident about their chances as they have the best home record in the Premier League so far this season, winning four and drawing one.

Bournemouth are fresh from big home wins over Arsenal and Man City, but their away form is a weakness. Plus, Brentford are the only side they have played and failed to beat in the Premier League.
