Trent Alexander-Arnold answered all the critics who have lambasted his defending in recent weeks by bagging a free-kick and watching Rangers huff n’ puff their way out of the Champions League. Justice!

Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke and Lars Sivertsen check in with the various Champions League results, as Spurs stuttered to a draw and VAR unveiled its magnum opus over in Porto. We also wonder how much you could get for a hyperbaric oxygen chamber on eBay - just that sort of show, I guess.
