Liverpool frustrated by Spartak Moscow as Harry Kane nets hat-trick against APOEL in Tottenham win

Liverpool again falter in Europe; they have settled for a draw against a woefully average Spartak Moscow side tonight. A flurry of missed chances in the final five minutes will frustrate Jurgen Klopp no end and having taken just two points from two games, they have already left themselves with plenty of work to do in the group stages.

Harry Kane meanwhile has continued his wonderful run of form; tonight he notched his ninth hat-trick in a Spurs shirt as Tottenham made it two wins from two against APOEL.

It was a similarly comfortable night for Manchester City; while Sergio Aguero's missed penalty means he will have to wait for another night to become his club's joint all-time top scorer, goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling were enough to seal the win.

Full-time: Spartak Moscow 1-1 Liverpool

Another chance passes Liverpool by! Alexander Arnold picks out Salah who heads on goal from six yards out but sub goalkeeper Selikhov reacts well to block it. A yard either side of the goalkeeper and that would have been it...

We are deep into added time and Liverpool again pass up an opportunity with Firmino sliding an easy cross behind Salah, who was poised for an easy tap in. We could have as many as 10 minutes of injury time after the Spartak goalkeeper's injury so they still have time.

Goal! Monaco 0-3 Porto (Layún 89)

City finally have their second! Excellent work from Bernardo Silva who makes a clever run over to the right to receive the ball and slide it across goal where Sterling can home off the underside off the bar.

Goal! Manchester City 2-0 Shakhtar (Raheem Sterling, 90)

What a chance for Sturridge to win it! Off the bench to replace Mane, he slices a woeful effort well over the bar from six yards out after being brilliantly picked out by Henderson.

Less than five minutes remaining and Liverpool still need a winner in Moscow.

Ben Yedder has his third goal of the night, coolly converting from the penalty spot. As things stand, Sevilla are going top of Group E with Liverpool still being held in Russia.

Goal! Sevilla 3-0 Maribor (Yissam Ben Yedder, 83)

Cristiano Ronaldo may have just seen off Dortmund! Freed down the inside right by a lovely ball from Modric, he rifles an unstoppable effort home from an incredibly tight angle to add his second of the game.

Goal! Borussia Dortmund 1-3 Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo, 79)

SAVED! Sergio Aguero misses from the spot and passes up the chance to become the club's joint all-time top scorer!

What a miss from Raheem Sterling! De Bruyne fires a sublime ball across goal but from six yards out, he diverts his effort wide.

Moments after Pepe Reina denies Feyenoord from the penalty spot, Napoli make it three! Mertens is again involved, finding Callejon's run down the inside right channel with the Spaniard finding the far corner with a low drive across goal.

Goal! Napoli 3-0 Feyenoord (Jose Callejon, 70)

Kane scores his ninth hat-trick for Tottenham! He starts the move in the middle of the park, spraying the ball out to Trippier on the right before surging into the box. Trippier's cross is equally good, and Kane is on the mark to guide a precise header home.

Goal! APOEL 0-3 Tottenham (Harry Kane, 67)

Spartak Moscow goalkeeper Rebrov is down in the Russian capital and it looks like his evening is over. That's decent news for Liverpool; he's been their best player tonight.

Spurs have been under huge pressure in the opening 15 minutes of the second half but is them who have the goal's second game! Sissoko's clever run is picked out down the inside right channel and he pulls back a precise ball for Kane who sweeps a fine finish into the far corner.

Goal! APOEL 0-2 Tottenham (Harry Kane, 62)

Liverpool want a penalty! Mane dribbles a hugely inviting ball across goal for Salah to race onto 10 yards out but he goes over, insisting he had been shoved over by the Spartak defender. The referee waves away his protests however.

A lifeline for Dortmund! Aubameyang may have just offered them that, nipping across Sergio Ramos to reach Castro's cross first and convert at the near post.

Goal! Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Real Madrid (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 54)

Real have their second with Gareth Bale turning provider, racing down the left after being picked out by Toni Kroos before threading a splendid ball across goal for Ronaldo to hammer home from close range.

Goal! Borussia Dortmund 0-2 Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo, 50)

Ooof, what a strike from de Bruyne! Marlos plays a loose square ball across the pitch and City immediately pounce, with Silva picking the ball up and driving forward. He looks inside and finds De Bruyne, who finds the top corner from 30 yards out. Ridiculous strike.

Goal! Manchester City 1-0 Shakhtar (Kevin de Bruyne, 48)

Mertens has his goal! Dreadful from Feyenoord, who come out of for the second half and immediately present the ball to the Belgian who coolly slots home.

Goal! Napoli 2-0 Feyenoord (Dries Mertens, 49)

And we are back underway across Europe.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool are being held at half-time but another goal for Harry Kane has given Spurs the lead in Cyprus.

Besiktas 1-0 RB Leipzig
Monaco 0-1 Porto

Half-time whistles now being blown across the continent...

What a start Besiktas are having to this Champions League campaign! After beating Porto last time out, they've made it two before half time with Talisca getting onto the end of Quaresma's wonderful cross to connect with a thumping header.

Goal! Besiktas 2-0 RB Leipzig (Talisca, 44)

Harry Kane is on the score sheet again! Alderweireld slips a clever ball through for Kane who waits for Waterman to come out of his goal before sliding it underneath him.

Goal! APOEL 0-1 Tottenham (Harry Kaner, 39)

Sublime from Sevilla, Ben Yedder makes it two after shooting across goal to find the far corner after a lovely layoff from Correa.

Goal! Sevilla 2-0 Maribor (Yisssam Ben Yedder 38)

Porto have broken the deadlock against the French champions, with Aboubakar finally beating the Monaco goalkeeper at the third time of asking to hammer home.

Goal! Porto 1-0 Monaco (Aboubakar, 31)

Liverpool have their equaliser! Mane and Coutinho combine brilliantly inside the box and the latter hammers a fine finish into the roof of the net.

Goal! Spartak Moscow 1-1 Liverpool (Philippe COutinho, 30)

Sevilla are off the mark! It is a wonderful run from Correa that creates it, dancing past challenges down the right before teeing up an easy finish for Yedder.

Goal! Sevilla 1-0 Maribor (Wissam Ben Yedder, 27)

Instant response from Liverpool? Nope. Sadio Mane leaps to nod home Alexander Arnold's cross but he is stood offside.

Jurgen Klopp made the decision to bring on Loris Karius tonight but I'm not sure it is going to pay off. Having not had a shot on goal in the opening 23 minutes, Spartak suddenly take the lead with Fernando's fine free kick beating the Liverpool goalkeeper. It was well struck, but it was always bending towards Karius who should have done much better.

Goal! Spartak Moscow 1-0 Liverpool (Fernando, 23)

Liverpool's best chance so far! Mane whips in a beauty of a cross from the left that Firmino meets with a thumping header, but Rebrov reacts brilliantly to push it away.

Wonderful from Gareth Bale! Carvajal whips in a sublime ball from the right with Bale waiting in the middle having snuck in behind a disjointed Dortmund back line. He watches it drop out of the air and lashes a sublime volley into the far corner.

Goal! Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Real Madrid (Gareth Bale, 18)

Sergio Ramos makes a crucial block to prevent Dortmund taking the lead, but did he use his hand?

Shakhtar almost pick their way through Man City's defence with an intricate passing play that frees Fred, only for Fernandinho, playing against his former side, to get back in time and make a crucial tackle.

Two in two for Ryan Babel in the Champions League! The former Liverpool forward sweeps home from inside the box to give Besiktas the lead.

Goal! Besiktas 1-0 RB Leipzig (Ryan Babel, 11)

Napoli have the first goal of the evening! Insigne pounces on a loose ball just inside the Feyenoord half and drives through their defence before lashing a low, pin-point effort across goal and past Brad Jones.

In a nice touch, he goes to the touchline to pay tribute to injured teammate Arkadiusz Milik, holding up his shirt in celebration. Except it isn't Milik's shirt. Someone on the touchline and chucked him a Piotr Zielinksi jersey instead.

Goal! Napoli 1-0 Feyenoord (Lorenzo Insigne, 7)

Bright start from Spurs at APOEL with Son forcing a save from their goalkeeper with Harry Kane having already threatened on goal, albeit firing a volley wide.

And we are off and underway across Europe.

It's early days, but a win is pretty crucial for Liverpool tonight. According to analysis carried out by bwin, they will have only a 14% chance of progressing beyond the group stages if they lose tonight.

After picking up wins in the opening round of fixtures, things are a little rosier for Manchester City and Tottenham. They are 85% likely to progress to round of 16 if they avoid defeat to Apoel Nicosia and Shakhtar Donetsk respectively.

Liverpool got off to a winning start in their last appearance in this competition during the 2014-15 season. They would fail to win again during that group campaign, crashing out of the competition in the process, and last week's draw with Sevilla means it has been six games since they last tasted victory in this competition. You have to go back even further for their last clean; they have failed to register one of those in their last eight.

For the first time, Jurgen Klopp has started Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino at the same time. A fearsome quartet on paper, Jurgen Klopp is eager to see what magic they can conjure up together. Speaking ahead of kick-off, the Liverpool boss said:

The Otkrytije Arena is one of our venues tonight; it's where Jurgen Klopp and his side will be hoping to leave with three points in the bag.

Jurgen Klopp makes three changes to the side that beat Leicester City over the weekend. As expected, Loris Karius is in for Simon Mignolet in goal with Trent Alexander-Arnold in for the suspended Joe Gomez. Philippe Coutinho retains his starting role, dropping into a midfield three to make room for the returning Sadio Mane. Georginio Wijnaldum is the man to make way.

Liverpool team to face Spartak Moscow: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Mane, Firmino.

Subs: Mignolet, Flanagan, Klavan, Milner, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge.

BREAKING: Sadio Mane returns to Liverpool starting XI, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench.

Team news: Spartak Moscow

Liverpool could get an unexpected boost tonight with Dutch star Quincy Promes set to miss out for the hosts tonight due to injury.

The 23-cap Netherlands international scored both goals for Spartak in a 2-0 Russian Cup fifth-round victory over Kuban Krasnodar last Wednesday, but sustained a calf problem later in the same game. He missed the weekend clash with Anzhi Makhachkala with manager Massimo Carrera doubtful he will have to role to play tonight.

Klopp on Sadio Mane's chances of starting tonight

Team news: Liverpool

With Nathaniel Clyne sidelined for the foreseeable future with a back problem, Klopp has rotated between Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold for a starting role at right-back. Gomez did not make the trip east having picked up a red card that rules him out tonight against Sevilla, meaning Alexander-Arnold will surely get the nod this evening.

Team news: Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has already confirmed Loris Karius will return in goal for his side tonight with Sadio Mane nailed onto return to the starting XI after serving a domestic ban over the weekend.

Liverpool were the only Premier League side to not get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start in the opening round of fixtures two weeks ago. Their same old defensives woes were exposed again as Sevilla snatched a draw for themselves at Anfield but a draw between Maribor and tonight 's opponents in the other Group E encounter that evening ensured they didn't fall off the pace with all four sides tied on a point each.

Tottenham meanwhile took three points off Borussia Dortmund in their opener at Wembley but have travelled to Cyprus for tonight's match with a depleted squad. Christian Eriksen is among the absentees due to illness, with both Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen absent. With a clash against Real Madrid looming in the next round of fixtures, three points are a must tonight.

We will have team news from all eight of tonight's matches with you very shortly.
