Manchester City and Chelsea secure easy wins, Real Madrid edge past Shakhtar

Manchester City and Chelsea breezed past FC Copenhagen and AC Milan respectively in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, October 5. Erling Haaland scored a brace for City as they continued their perfect start to the UCL campaign. The Norwegian striker scored in the seventh and 32nd minutes to continue his brilliant start to the season. Davit Khocholava’s own goal in the 39th minute made it 3-0 before a Riyad Mahrez penalty and a Julain Alvarez goal rounded off a perfect day for Guardiola’s men. Chelsea secured a 3-0 win over reigning Serie A champions AC Milan at Stamford Bridge, thanks to goals from Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James. Graham Potter’s team were on the front foot from the get-go and Fofana gave them the lead in the 24th minute. However, he was subbed off from the field due to an injury. Aubameyang scored against his former side in the 56th minute to make it 2-0 before James ended the game and ensured the Blues got all three points in the 62nd minute. Champions League holders Real Madrid edged past Shakthar Donetsk 2-1, courtesy of goals from Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo. Oleksandr Zubkov pulled one back for Shakthar as Madrid held their nerves to see off the Ukrainian team.
