Erling Haaland moved into the top 10 Champions League goalscorers with yet another strike as Manchester City won 2-0 at

Captain Bernardo Silva was also on target at the Estadio De La Ceramica as he followed up the Norwegian's early effort with a powerful header before half-time.

City were not at their fluent best and their Spanish hosts gave them some uncomfortable moments, particularly in the second half, but a second victory in the league phase did not seem in doubt.

Here’s the full list of games for tomorrow in the Champions League, with Liverpool and Chelsea in action:

(all kick-offs 8pm unless stated)

Athletic Bilbao vs Qarabag (5.45pm BST)

Galatasaray vs Bodo/Glimt

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool

Chelsea vs Ajax

AS Monaco vs Tottenham

Real Madrid vs Juventus

Sporting CP vs Marseille

Bayern Munich vs Club Brugge

Atalanta vs Slavia Praha

“Good performance in the first half, totally underserved result in that half. Not easy to come here and perform the way we did in the first half, hitting the post, being the team that was closer to winning.

“Then in the second half with the second goal, it was a complete turnaround, and the result is more than fair.

“I think it’s just the difference in quality between the two teams. They are more intense, they are faster, they have a bench with phenomenal players to change the dynamic.

“15 points to play for, we lost to Chelsea and Newcastle away, but we have these points to play for with three matches at home. I would say that 10 or 11 points is what we need to qualify, so game on,” he adds.

Here’s the full list of results from tonight’s games then:

Barcelona 6-1 Olympiacos

Kairat 0-0 Pafos

PSV 6-2 Napoli

Leverkusen 2-7 PSG

Union SG 0-4 Inter Milan

Copenhagen 2-4 Dortmund

Villarreal 0-2 Manchester City

Arsenal 4-0 Atletico Madrid

Eddie Howe was delighted as he spoke to TNT Sports.

“Benfica are a really good team, so we had to show our qualities today,” he said.

“We kept at it and I think once we scored the second goal you saw the real us and what we can do. I think we were excellent from that point onwards.

“We have strength, but it’s sort of on paper. You’ve got to prove it. We’ve got to prove that the strength of the squad warrants the feeling I have. We haven't quite clicked into gear yet, but hopefully that’s the start of what we can be,” he explained.

“Anthony [Gordon] was outstanding tonight, he looked a real threat all game, he was dynamic, very aggressive. Really pleased for Harvey [Barnes] to come on and get the two that he did, off the right-hand side, so it shows his versatility,” he added.

All of Newcastle's goals and assists came from an English player - Harvey Barnes (two goals), Anthony Gordon (one goal, one assist), Jacob Murphy (one assist), Nick Pope (one assist).

Pope’s throw for his assist travelled 65 yards!

Newcastle’s next match comes against Fulham this weekend, with that home fixture kicking off at 3pm on Saturday, 25 October.

The next Champions League game comes next month, when they face Athletic Bilbao on 5 November.

That result means Newcastle move into seventh in the league phase table for now, with six points from three games.

Benfica are now in 34th, with no points so far.

"Last season we weren't in Europe and that hurt the players - this is what we want to be in, there is nothing better,” says goalscorer Harvey Barnes.

"A few times when we have gone ahead in games we have not quite gone for that second or third goal and it has cost us. This is when we are at our best - playing attacking football with the crowd behind us. The third goal killed the game off which was important,” he added.

Anthony gordon also spoke to TNT, saying that “it means everything [to be the first Newcastle player to score in three consecutive Champions League games], but we need more, my ambition doesn't stop there”.

"Because we had so many chances, we had to put one away to calm the nerves. I was glad to see it go in. Playing with [Jacob] Murphy, I knew he was going to play that ball every time. That goal is all about him.

"We all love [Nick] Pope. He is one of the most popular people in the dressing room he is a top guy and a top keeper. He has kept us in so many game already this season and some of the saves he made were incredible,” added the England winger.
