⏪ Villa double downs Feyenoord in UEL; Forest and Rangers fall to defeat | OneFootball

LIVE

FROM EARLIER

FULL TIME: FOREST 2-3 MIDTIYLLAND

Pressure is already on Ange Postecoglou at Forest after a shock Europa League defeat to a ruthless Midtjylland.

FULL TIME: FEYENOORD 2-0 ASTON VILLA

Buendia's excellent strike and John McGinn's late second give Villa a second consecutive Europa League victory.

FULL TIME: STURM GRAZ 2-1 RANGERS

Djeidi Gassama's second half goal gave Rangers a way back, but they couldn't capitlaise and fall to defeat in Austria.

GOAL FOREST!

Chris Wood steps up to convert and gives the Tricky Trees some late hope.

FOREST PENALTY!

A  foul on Elliot Anderson leads to a Forest lifeline.

BIG CHANCE RANGERS!

John Souttar lashes towards goal from close range and it's heading in until Sturm Graz goalkeeper Christensen somehow gets down quickly to save.

GOAL MIDTIYLLAND!

In the final minute, the Danish side get a decisive third through Valdemar Byskov, who races forward and taps in to cap a blistering counter-attack.

CHANCE FOREST!

A raking Sangare pass finds Morgan Gibbs-White inside the area and his attempt is saved.

Rangers have just five minutes to get an equaliser and Danilo's strike is saved by Oliver Christensen.

GOAL VILLA!!

It's captain John McGinn who surely seals all three points for the visiting Villans. Donyell Malen does the hard work by barrelling through the Feyenoord defence, but once he's tackled, McGinn is lurking to fire home.

DISALLOWED GOAL

Chris Wood taps in from Eliot Anderson's pass. The goal is ruled out as Anderson strayed offside during the build-up.

CHANCE FEYENOORD!

The hosts work the ball well down the right flank and pick out Anel Ahmedhodzic, unmarked in the area. He shoots first time and skims the post.

Jack Butland makes a double save to prevent Sturm Graz from restoring their two-goal advantage over Rangers. Heroic goalkeeping.

A Europa League first for Buendia this evening.

Derek Cornelius swings a speculative cross into the Sturm Graz area. It looks routine, but somehow nearly loops into the top corner. Bizarre passge of play!

Forest's Ibrahim Sangare takes a shot from 25 yards out and it whistles just past the post.

GOAL VILLA!

Emi Buendia receives the ball on the edge of the box and curls an unstoppable finish into the bottom corner. Villa worked that one very nicely around the edge of the area before the Argentine converted superbly.

BIG CHANCE FEYENOORD!

Ueda goes one on one with Bizot and tries to pick his spot high in the net. He gets the finish all wrong and curls over the crossbar - a let off for Villa.

Rangers are really pressing for that equaliser now and Chermiti gets into a dangerous position but just can't get his shot away quick enough.

OFF THE POST

Aston Villa go close as Ian Maatsen picks out Evann Guessand, whose low first-time shot cannons off the foot of the post.

Forest also try to get things going early in the second period and Neco Williams' shot lacks enough power to trouble Elias Olafsson.

GOAL RANGERS!

Djeidi Gassama gives Rangers hope with an early second-half goal. It's a great strike from the edge of the area, which nestles into the corner.

Rangers make two changes for the second half. Bojan Miovski and Max Aarons are on for Jayden Meghoma and Oliver Antman.

SECOND HALF

Rangers, Forest and Villa all get back underway for the second half.

Here are the half time scores from all of the Europa League games.

The real set-piece kings.

HALF TIME: Forest 1-2 Midtjylland

In a crazy six minutes during the first half, Ndoye levelled to cancel out Midtjylland's opener. Moments later, the Danish side re-took the lead through Mads Bech's close range finish.

HALF TIME: Feyenoord 0-0 Aston Villa

A couple of dubious refereeing decisions at both ends in Rotterdam. An end-to-end half ends level, however.

HALF TIME: Sturm Graz 2-0 Rangers

It's been all too easy for Sturm Graz, who carved Rangers open with ease twice to hold a comfortable lead.

Forest are pushing for a late equaliser in the first half, but their owner is not best pleased with what he has seen.

Nico Raskin almost puts the ball into his own net as he races back to snub out a Strum Graz attack. Luckily, Butland is alert and prevents a third goal.

What a hit from Feyenoord's Luciano Valente, whose dipping effort looks destined for the top corner. Bizot has other ideas and leaps up to tip the ball over the bar. A top drawer save!

GOAL STURM GRAZ!

Kiteishvili doubles the Austrian's lead, racing onto a direct free-kick and finishing past Butland.

Youssef Chermiti tries to get things going for Rangers and fires a powerful shot towards goal from a tight angle. It's comfortably held by Oliver Christensen in the end.

Feyenoord thought they had taken the lead there through Ueda's header. Bizot seemingly clawed it away before the ball crossed the line. No goal and still all square.

CHANCE STURM GRAZ

Rangers are almost two down as Otar Kiteishvili latches on to a loose ball and lashes towards the bottom corner. Jack Butland is alert to keep it out.

Murillo is off injured at Forest. A big blow for the Tricky Trees as he is replaced early by Nicolo Savona.

BIG CHANCE FEYENOORD

Ueda goes extremely close with a downward header that skims off the turf and skims the outside of Villa's post. Best chance of the game so far.

It's end-to-end in Rotterdam, but still goalless between Feyenoord and Villa as Ayase Ueda's fierce volley forces Bizot into a low save.

GOAL MIDTIYLLAND!

Forest concede a corner and Mads Bech is on hand to apply the finishing touch after a goalmouth scramble.

GOAL FOREST!

They weren't behind for long as Dan Ndoye gets the Tricky Trees back on level terms with a tidy first time finish inside the area. That's the first European goal at the City Ground since 1996!

OFF THE LINE!

Ollie Watkins goes past the Feyenoord goalkeeper and taps towards goal, but a swarm of defenders are on hand to clear off the line.

GOAL MIDTIYLLAND!

Ousmane Diao gets the Danes off the mark after he reacts first to Mads Bech's flick on and bundles in from point blank range.

The referee sticks with his original decision - yellow card only.

A VAR check is taking place for that Ahmedhodzic tackle. Hold tight...

Aston Villa appeal for a red card as Anel Ahmedhodzic brings down Ollie Watkins outside the area. The Villans claim he was the last man, but the referee waves away the protests.

CHANCE FEYENOORD

Ooh, great effort from Anis Hadj Moussa, who shows off some tricky skills and cuts inside from the right wing. He uses the space well, rifling a low shot towards the corner, but Marco Bizot makes a strong save.

GOAL STURM GRAZ

Tomi Horvat opens the scoring for the Austrians, rifling in from close range after being left completely unmarked inside the area.

Rangers look to make a bright start in Sturm Graz as Youssef Chermiti is inches away from connecting with a whipped cross into the box.

45 seconds in at the City Ground and there's a yellow card already. Morato is penalised for a foul just outside the Forest area.

KICK OFF

After a quick turnaround from the early action, Forest, Aston Villa and Rangers get started in the later kick-offs.

FULL TIME! Dynamo Kyiv 0-2 Crystal Palace!

An almost flawless performance from Oliver Glasner's men, who win their opening Conference League clash with relative ease.

FULL TIME! Roma 0-1 Lille!

What a win for Lille as an early goal is enough to see them come away from the Olimpico with all three points.

FULL TIME! Celtic 0-2 Braga!

Boos are heard around Celtic Park as Brendan Rodgers' side lose to the Portuguese club.

Celtic will feel they were unlucky with the handball call earlier but the defending for that second goal was woeful. The home crowd are not happy!

We're into added time at Celtic Park.

GOAL! Celtic 0-2 Braga!

Celtic's night has gone from bad to worse. Braga have got a second and it's Martinez with the finish. What a mess that was defensively.

PENALTY MISS! Roma had the chance to equalise but Soulè's spot kick has been saved!

Kieran Tierney's 400th career game ends on the 80th minute.

RED CARD! Nervy times for Palace with Sosa getting a second booking with 10 minutes to go. Can Kyiv take advantage?

A remarkable save from Hornicek to prevent Tounekti's drilled effort from bending into the bottom-right corner! So close for Celtic.

We hate to go back to it, but that VAR call from the officials in the Celtic game is one of the more bizarre you're likely to see. Celtic should rightly be furious that the handball call was given.

It must be said that Crystal Palace have been excellent tonight. A brilliant composed performance from minute one.

A double Celtic change as Reo Hatate makes his comeback and Arne Engels is on.

39-year-old Joao Moutinho is on for Braga. Can his experienced head bring some calm to this game?

Just over an hour gone in all three of these games.

That's a lovely finish from Nketiah. He gets ahead of his marker and finishes first time from close range. A real poacher's effort.

GOAL! Dynamo Kyiv 0-2 Crystal Palace!

Palace are in dreamland. Nketiah scores to double their advantage.

A cutback from Daniel Munoz drops for Yeremy Pino, but he goes for position over power and in the end it a routine save for Ruslan Neshcheret.

Despite that disallowed goal, the Celtic fans have found their voice again. Will there be another equaliser?

The VAR seems to think the ball has hit Kelechi Iheanacho's arm as he controls the ball. I'm not sure I'm having that.

Well scrap that! Celtic's goal has been disallowed.

Braga really shot themselves in the foot with that goal, but it's a lovely finish from Celtic's latest signing.

GOAL! Celtic 1-1 Braga!

Celtic are level and it's Iheanacho with the goal. His performance has deserved that!

We're back underway in all three games. Will we have more than the three goals so far? Let's find out!

Here's the scores on the doors in the other games tonight ...

We'll be back in 10 minutes for the start of the second half!

HALF TIME! Roma 0-1 Lille!

An early goal for the French side means Roma have it all to do after the break.

HALF TIME! Dynamo Kyiv 0-1 Crystal Palace.

Munoz's stunning header is the difference in Poland with Palace looking good for their half time lead.

HALF TIME! Celtic 0-1 Braga!

Celtic are a goal down at the break. It's been a difficult 45 minutes for the Scottish giants.

Almost two, just before half-time for Palace. Wharton with a lovely 20-yard diagonal pass and Sosa is sliding in and attacks the ball, but Kyiv goalkeeper Ruslan Neshcheret does really well to get his body in the way and block the attempt.

We're into added time in these three matches!

It would be fair to say that Celtic look a bit lost after that goal. Can Rodgers' side turn things around?

A deep cross from Nketiah finds Munoz, and the onrushing defender's looping header goes in. Great stuff.

GOAL! Dynamo Kyiv 0-1 Crystal Palace

Daniel Munoz has scored for Crystal Palace! What a moment for the defender!

Looking at that Celtic goal again, Schmeichel really should have done better. It's a shot from miles out with the Dane all over the place.

GOAL! Celtic 0-1 Braga!

What a goal that is from Horta. Celtic were looking strong but that is a stunning goal for the visitors.

Jean-Philippe Mateta almost gets on the end of a ball forwards, but an outstretched leg from Taras Mykhavko just about gets there in time.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Sebastian Tounekti have been the stand-outs so far for Celtic. Still goalless at Paradise though.

GOAL! Roma 0-1 Lille

What a start for the French side as Haraldsson gives them a lead at the Olimpico.

It's been a high-energy start for Celtic with Tounekti looking excellent out wide!

Kelechi Iheanacho is slipped in behind but doesn't get a shot away for Celtic.

Wharton looks at his brilliant best this afternoon and creates a half-chance for Palace. It comes to nothing but it's a great start for the Eagles.

Yarmolenko, who had a four-year spell at West Ham, wins an early foul for Dynamo Kyiv. Will we see some of his old magic today?

Some early pressure for Roma with Soulé having a shot blocked!

There was due to be a silent protest at Celtic but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. Still a few empty seats but there looks to be 45,000 or so at Celtic Park.

The Palace fans really are in great voice here!

WE HAVE KICK OFF!

Nottingham Forest will be returning to European football later on. This video is a beautiful thing ...

There are just a few minutes left before kick off in these early games! What are your predictions?

And here's their XI for the historic clash ...

Of course Crystal Palace needed to qualify to get into the Conference League but the south London side make their European bow proper tonight with a clash against Dynamo Kyiv in Poland!

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our live blog of tonight's Europa League and Conference League action. For the early kick offs, we'll be giving you regular updates from the games involving Crystal Palace, Roma and Celtic.
