D2: Spurs Up And Running, Espanyol Up To Third (Matchday 7)
ESPANYOL BEAT HAMBURG, UP TO THIRD!
Muller and Senesi were on target as Espanyol deservedly beat Hamburg 2-1

We mixed it up a little tonight showing our versatility though we should probably have won more comfortably. They attack you from the first minute, and we adjusted things to combat that, given our young defence. Pleased to put the points on the board and keep our mini unbeaten run going.
Glen Mullan (RCD Espanyol)
Well played, Glen. Half expected a drubbing, so not to disappointed with the scoreline.

A game that could easily have gone either way. The 3 points take us to 10th, however a tough trip to Zenit is up next for the Eagles.
⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)
Playing a stronger team at their gaff I was expecting a 2 goal loss and that’s how it turned out. No goals in two now with our only scorer, Belotti, off target with a few chances so that’s a worry No other players scoring is also a worry. Stats fairly equal so maybe we were a little unlucky.

I was hoping the struggle could be over for FC Porto after a good win past Thursday, but it's not. Failed to beat a clearly lower rated Aston Villa side at home tonight, 1-1 was the score. Conceded our opponent's only shot on target unfortunately. Ederson is being useless. On the other hand, we could only score 1 out of 7. . . So another 2 points dropped and already 10 points behind 1st place. Disappointing stuff. There's always next match. And next season. . .
