Wednesday UCL Wrap: Villa, Celtic held at home, as Liverpool stun Real Madrid

Date:

Aston Villa were denied victory over Juventus in the Champions League as Morgan Rogers’ stoppage-time goal was ruled out.

Rogers’ smart finish was disallowed when the video assistant referee deemed Diego Carlos to have fouled goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio in the air.

The disappointment means Villa’s winless run has reached seven matches.

Daizen Maeda struck a superb equaliser as Celtic recovered from a Cameron Carter-Vickers own goal to earn a Champions League point at home to an impressive Club Brugge.

Liverpool finally ended their Real Madrid curse as they maintained their flawless Champions League record with a fully deserved 2-0 victory in a thrilling encounter at Anfield.

Alexies MacAllister and Coady Gakpo scored to ensure Liverpool finally defeat Real Madrid after eight games of trying.

Jamie Gittens continued his impressive Champions League form as he helped fire Borussia Dortmund to victory at Dinamo Zagreb.

Full-back Ramy Bensebaini scored Dortmund’s second with a header 10 minutes after the break, before Serhou Guirassy added a third late on.

PSV Eindhoven scored three goals after the 86th minute, including a 95th-minute winner, to recover from 2-0 down and beat Shakhtar Donetsk in a remarkable match in the Champions League.

Angel di Maria provided two late assists as Benfica came from behind to claim a dramatic victory at Monaco.

On-loan Burnley forward Zeki Amdouni came off the bench to score an 88th-minute winner to break the hearts of 10-man Monaco.

Silas scored against his parent club as Red Star Belgrade ended a five-year wait for a Champions League win by thrashing Stuttgart in Serbia.
