There's problems for the commentators at Old Trafford as both Rafael Da Silva, left, and his twin brother Fabio are in the line-up for UnitedPhotograph: Dave Thompson/PANani skips over the sliding challenge of Jeremy Mathieu as he goes on another forage forwardPhotograph: Clive Mason/Getty ImagesUnited start brightly and create a number of chances, but can't convert them. Dimitar Berbatov has a couple of chances but seems to be a bit off colour as he's having trouble finding the target. If Valencia also can't find the back of the net during the match then United will be the team to come through the group stages without conceding a goalPhotograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images
That record is going to stand for another year. Carrick gets robbed by Dominguez in the centre circle who charges towards the United area before rolling to ball into the inside right channel which Pablo Hernandez is steaming down and he slams the ball under Ben Amos and into the net. 1-0 to ValenciaPhotograph: Michael Mayhew/SportsphotoRooney almost pulls one back three minutes later when he hits a thunderous shot from the edge of the Valencia box which beats Guaita but hammers the underside of the bar and then comes back outPhotograph: Phil Noble/ReutersThere's more bad news for United just after half-time when Rio Ferdinand leaves the pitch and heads down the tunnel after picking up an injury. He obviously doesn't look too happy as his recent run of games seemed to have put paid to his injury problems which have blighted the past 18 monthsPhotograph: Matthew Peters/Man Utd via Getty ImagesBerbatov finally finds the net after 56 minutes but he was slightly offside when he stroked his first-time shot into the bottom left cornerPhotograph: Phil Noble/ReutersThen, just six minutes later, all of United's pressure finally pays off when Anderson equalises. Park Ji-sung, who's out on the left, thumps the ball goal-bound, which Guaita reacts to and parrie upwards, but Anderson is the first to react and wallops the ball into the empty net. The linesman doesn't seem too impressed by his sashaying celebrationPhotograph: Sportsphoto/Michael MayhewOver in Holland, there's a dream start for Spurs and a nightmare one for FC Twente keeper Sander Boschker, who's making his Champions League debut at the age of 40 and after 500 appearances. He must have been psyching himself up by watching tapes of Paul Robinson as when Peter Wesgerhof passes the ball back to him, instead of hoofing it upfield he kicks a big slice of fresh air. He can only look on in horror as the ball trickles past him and into the net. Spurs need to win the match to ensure they top the group and this gaffe makes the job a bit easier Photograph: Ermindo Armino/APThough 10 minutes later Twente equalise courtesy of a penalty given for handball after the ball strikes the arm of Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Denny Landzaat steps up and scores but the ref makes him take it again because of encrouchment. This time he blasts it down the middle and despite getting a hand to it, it's too strong for Gomes and it's 1-1Photograph: Peter Dejong/APThe Dutch champions put Tottenham's goalkeeper Gomes under a bit of pressurePhotograph: Michael Kooren/ReutersWhat a start to the second half as Spurs retake the lead courtesy of a lovely worked goal. Aaron Lennon picks the ball up on the edge of the area and instead of shooting pings a reverse pass to Jermain Defoe, who deftly clips the ball over the keeper. The visiters can't keep the lead again as seven minutes later Roberto Rosales soars above the Tottenham defence to bury a powerful header past Gomes from 18 yardsPhotograph: Vincent Jannink/EPAThen, just five minutes later, Tottenham are back in the lead when Defoe stabs the ball home after Boschker can only parry Wilson Palacios's shot. It's been a great night for the diminutive striker as his two goals are his first for the club since his ankle ligament injury in SeptemberPhotograph: Vincent Jannink/EPANacer Chadli's shot is blocked by William Gallas. The Twente striker had more luck a bit later when he makes it 3-3 with a fabulous free-kick 35 yards out. He hits it hard over the wall and it dips into the top left-hand corner. That's how the match finished so, despite not winning, Harry Redknapp must be relieved as his team top the group and will avoid some of the big guns in the next roundPhotograph: Ermindo Armino/APOver at Camp Nou, Rubin Kazan are playing for pride against Barcelona. Here Vitali Kaleshin is making a having a go at out-foxing Gerard Pique, left, and a few of his Barca team-matesPhotograph: Manu Fernandez/APAnything you can do ... Lionel Messi skips past Oleg Kuzmin. However the Barca striker didn't get on the score-sheet tonight, it was Fontas and Vazquez who notched in the home side's 2-0 victory. They top the group and Rubin go into the Europa LeaguePhotograph: Manu Fernandez/APLyon forward Bafetimbi Gomis reacts after failing to score.

Rangers go into the Europa LeaguePhotograph: Murad Sezer/ReutersThere's plenty of Schalke supporters who have made their way to Lisbon for their team's Group B match against Benfica. They made the journey safe in the knowledge that their team are through to the next round and, if they avoid defeat tonight, they'll win the groupPhotograph: Armando Franca/APThere's joy on the Schalke bench too, as well as a bit of concern and worry as head coach Felix Magath, assistant coaches Bernd Hollerbach and Seppo Eichkorn alongside condition coach Werner Leuthart watch the match. Happiness was the emotion that all of the bench and fans would have felt as the final whistle went as the German side ran out 2-1 winners courtesy of goals from Jurado and HowedesPhotograph: Christof Koepsel/Bongarts/Getty ImagesWerder Bremen's Hugo Almeida stretches but can't reach the ball as he attempts to poke it past Inter goalkeeper Paolo Orlandoni Photograph: Morris Mac Matzen/ReutersClaudio Pizarro did manage to beat Orlandoni two minutes from time, as did Prodi and Arnautovic earlier in the one-sided match as Bremen ran out easy 3-0 winnersPhotograph: Joern Pollex/Bongarts/Getty ImagesInter's Jonathan Biabiany, centre, and team-mates look dejected as they trudge off. The German team were playing for pride as they had already been eliminated from the competion, but they do so now that it's 15 matches since they have been beaten at home by an Italian team Photograph: Martin Rose/Bongarts/Getty ImagesRafael Benitez ponders whether it was a mistake to send out a makeshift team which means they didn't finish top of the group. We'll see when the draw for the next round is made next FridayPhotograph: Joern Pollex/Bongarts/Getty Images
