Manchester United come back from two goals down to beat Atalanta, and Ronaldo scored a trademark towering header to seal the win. What does it all mean? And are any of the panel prepared to either praise or criticise Ole Gunnar Solskjær?

Chelsea beat Malmö but at a cost, as Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were forced off with injuries. There was a great Europa League comeback for Leicester, and we’ll round up the rest of the Champions League action.

Meanwhile, Steve Bruce has left Newcastle by mutual consent. Will he use the £8m payout to bankroll his detective novels? Plus, exciting Kevin Keegan awards ceremony news.

Finally, we look ahead to the Premier League weekend and dive into Gerard Piqué’s balloon world.
