Europa League matchday four - in pictures

It might be raining in London but the Thames looks rather serene as it is floodlit by the lights at Craven Cottage. Fulham are in action in the Europa League against Wisla Krakow Photograph: Jed Leicester/Action Images

Inside the stadium, the old ground is filled with smoke from flares. It's a wonder the players can see the ball Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

Five minutes in and Damien Duff's low strike from Andrew Johnson's cross gives the home side the lead. But four minutes later Andraz Kirm's deflected effort brings the visitors level Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images

Johnson then swings a delightful volley into the top corner on the half hour mark Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

He looks rather chuffed with that one and rightly so because it was a pearler Photograph: Jed Leicester/Action Images

Johnson adds a third goal for Fulham when he nips the ball over the keeper Sergei Pareiko following Bobby Zamora's flick, before Steve Sidwell completes an emphatic win 11 minutes from time by capitalising on the rebound from his own header.

Championship side Birmingham City went into their match with Club Brugge joint top of Group H alongside the Belgians. Birmingham found themselves 2-0 down at the interval, but missed opportunities, including this one from Nikola Zigic, and the width of the woodwork kept them goalless Photograph: Matt Dunham/AP

Jean Beausejour gave Birmingham hope with a goal in the 55th minute and a triple substitution soon afterwards signalled the Blues' attacking intent for what remained of the match. Ryan Donk fouled Beausejour in the 74th minute to gift Marlon King a spot-kick, which he converted.

Celtic were looking for respite from their faltering league campaign as they took on Rennes. Here, Kader Mangane and Cha Du-Ri clash for the ball Photograph: Lynne Cameron/PA

Celtic responded with two first-half goals from Anthony Stokes, this being his first, and a later strike from Gary Hooper following a neat one-two. It was Celtic's first win in Europe this season and puts them within sight of the top two in Group I Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images

Tottenham travelled to Rubin Kazan in Russia for an early kick-off without their manager Harry Redknapp, who has undergone heart surgery Photograph: Natalia Kolesnikova/AFP/Getty Images

They fielded a youthful side which conceded a 55th minute free-kick to Bebras Natcho. It was the only goal of the match, and a costly one at that, as it dropped them down to third in Group A beneath Kazan Photograph: Natalia Kolesnikova/AFP/Getty Images

Stoke City were also on the road, and their fans in high spirits despite the rain. They visited Maccabi Tel Aviv in their Group E clash Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

And Peter Crouch tapped in Stoke's second from close range as they eased to victory. An injury time goal for the hosts made it 2-1, but the win leaves Stoke well clear at the top of their group Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images
