Tuesday’s Matchday 7 of the Champions League saw the biggest shock of the League Phase as Norway’s Bodø/Glimt stunned Manchester City 3-1.
Kasper Waarst Høgh scored a first-half brace within two minutes and Jens Hauge made it 3-0 in the 58th minute to help give the home side its first-ever Champions League victory.
It wasn’t Manchester City’s day as four minutes after Hauge’s goal, Rodri picked up the second of two yellow cards within the span of a minute. According to Opta, the 53 seconds between yellow cards were the fewest for a sending off for an English team in the Champions League since Wayne Rooney for Manchester United in 2005 (4 seconds).

Tottenham made it two out of three Premier League sides to win on Tuesday with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke scored 23 minutes apart to move Spurs into the top four.
