Taking the lead after just 11 seconds wasn’t enough for Napoli to avoid a loss in the second round of Europa League group-stage matches. Eljif Elmas netted the early goal for Napoli but Spartak Moscow rallied to a 3-2 victory after both teams were reduced to 10 men. In the new third-tier Europa Conference League, Stephan El Shaarawy scored seven minutes into the game to put Roma on course to a 3-0 away win at Ukraine’s Zorya Luhansk. Tottenham scored twice within eight minutes before Harry Kane scored a hattrick despite coming on as a substitute in a 5-1 victory over Slovenia’s FC Mura .
