After starting the Europa League league games with three straight draws, Manchester United have taken their first win. Amad Diallo became the match hero when PAOK Thessaloniki was defeated 2-0 at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old Ivorian nodded in the first goal early in the second half. In the 77th minute, Diallo instead used his left foot when he curled in 2-0 from the right flank.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is leading United pending Rúben Amorim taking over the coaching job next week, let Victor Nilsson Lindelöf play the entire match in central defense.

For Tottenham, with Lucas Bergvall starting and Dejan Kulusevski coming on as a substitute, it went worse. Galatasaray won 3-2 in Istanbul and thus saw to it that "Spurs" dropped points for the first time in this autumn's Europa League football.

Kulusevski was lying down with pains in one shoulder for a while. He was able to continue playing after receiving treatment, which surely calmed the Swedish national team captain Jon Dahl Tomasson, who will gather the national team next week for the final Nations League group stage matches.
