LONDON: Manchester United came from behind to beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League while Tottenham conceded in added time to draw 2-2 with Roma and leaders Lazio were held to goalless by Ludogorets.

Athletic Bilbao enjoyed an easy win over Elfsborg and Eintracht Frankfurt beat Midtjylland to draw level on 13 points with Lazio as Galatasaray and Anderlecht were held to draws.

United, in manager Ruben Amorim’s first game at Old Trafford, had the perfect start thanks to a howler from the Bodo goalkeeper in the first minute which allowed Alejandro Garnacho in for an easy goal.

The Norwegian side went ahead through Hakon Evjen’s superb strike in the 19th minute and a goal from Philip Zinckernagel four minutes later, but United levelled just before the break through Rasmus Hojlund.

The Danish striker scored again five minutes after the break and United’s second successive win moved them up to 12th in the standings on nine points.

Tottenham also took an early lead at home, with captain Heung-min Son converting a penalty in the fifth minute but Roma drew level through Evan N’Dicka before Brennan Johnson put the home side back in front before halftime.

Spurs wasted several chances to kill the game and Roma were well worth an equaliser two minutes into second-half stoppage time from Mats Hummels. As a result Tottenham slipped down to ninth on 10 points, with Roma 21st on six.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said: “It’s obviously frustrating, especially when they score so late. It was a good game, we probably should have wrapped it up a lot earlier. We missed some great chances and at 2-1 you’re always going to keep them in the game. So it’s disappointing not to see it out.”

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri, at the start of his third spell as manager of the capital club, praised his side for grabbing a deserved point.

He said: “The boys played a great game. I didn’t expect such a reaction. Today I was clear. We can’t sit back, we can’t be afraid. If Spurs attack, we have to counter. That’s what the fans like. The boys understood that and I’m happy with that. I told them the result was secondary.”

Lazio, who had won all four previous games, were held to a frustrating scoreless draw by a Bulgarian side who came to defend.

Bilbao eased to a 3-0 win over Swedish side Elfsborg thanks to goals from Adama Boiro, Benat Prados Diaz and Gorka Guruzeta while Frankfurt beat Midtjylland 2-1, with Hugo Larsson putting them ahead early on and Omar Marmoush’s penalty sealing the win.

Anderlecht were denied the chance to move level with Lazio by a 2-2 home draw with Porto, the Belgians twice coming from behind and Francis Amuzu netting four minutes from time to salvage a draw.

Galatasaray are also on 11 points after they were held to a 1-1 home draw by AZ Alkmaar. The Turkish side went ahead after two minutes through Sven Mijnans but a Peer Koopmeiners own goal denied them the win.

Ajax Amsterdam remained on 10 points and are sixth in the standings after a 2-0 defeat at Real Sociedad, moving the Spanish side up to 16th on seven points.

Rangers moved into the top eight on 10 points with a 4-1 victory in France over Nice, with Hamza Igamane netting twice after Vaclav Cerny and Mohammed Diomande put the Scottish side two goals up. Nice are second from bottom on two points.

Lyon ran out 4-1 winners in Azerbaijan against Qarabag, Georges Mikautdze opening and closing the scoring and they are also on 10 points in seventh place.

Maccabi Tel Aviv earned their first victory of the competition with a 3-1 win at Turkish side Besiktas, in a game played in Debrecen, Hungary for security reasons.

At 2-1 down Besiktas had a chance to level but Ciro Immobile’s penalty was saved and Weslley Patati put the Israeli side out of sight 10 minutes from time.
