League's brightest stars - Kaka of Milan, Real Madrid striker Ruud van
Nistelrooy and Lyon's Juninho Pernambucano bagged spectacular goals again. The
consistently impressive trio hit the headlines as there were also comfortable
wins for Celtic and Manchester United.
Dynamo Kiev 0-3 Lyon
Impressive Lyon march on at the top of Group E with a straightforward win in
Kiev. A trademark Juninho free kick was added to by goals from Kim Kallstrom and
Florent Malouda.
Steaua Bucharest 1-4 Real Madrid
Robinho sparkled for Real as they trounced Steaua in Bucharest. Sergio Ramos
and Raul struck before half time with Robinho and Ruud van Nistelrooy's chip
securing an easy success. Valentin Badea pulled one back for the hosts.
Celtic 3-0 Benfica
Kenny Miller scored twice and Stephen Pearson added a late third as Celtic
pulled off a fantastic victory against Benfica at Parkhead.
Man United 3-0 FC Copenhagen
The 1999 winners remain top of the group after a third straight win. After
Louis Saha missed a couple of openings, Paul Scholes set them on their way to
three points. John O'Shea deflected in a second and Jesper Christiansen spoiled
a fine display by gifting Kieran Richardson the third.
Porto 4-1 Hamburg
Porto proved too strong for out-of-form Hamburg with a stunning 4-1 triumph.
Lisandro hit a double and a Lucho Gonzalez penalty and Helder Postiga goal made
it safe. Piotr Trochowski hit an 89th minute consolation.
CSKA Moscow 1-1 Arsenal
A first-half strike by Daniel Carvalho following a short free kick was enough
to condemn Arsenal to defeat in Moscow. There was huge controversy late on when
Thierry Henry had a goal harshly ruled out and was instead booked for handling
the ball.
Anderlecht 0-1 Milan
A beautiful strike by Kaka was the difference between the two sides although
Anderlecht twice hit the woodwork in the closing stages. Daniele Bonera was sent
off for the visitors.
Lille 3-1 AEK Athens
Vladimir Ivic equalised Matthieu Robail's opener before late efforts from
Daniel Gygax and Jean Makoun secured victory for Lille as the game finished with
a flurry of goals.
