Champions League round-up - Weds 16th Sep

Arsenal and Liverpool both won their opening Champions League group matches.

Arsenal fought back from going 2-0 down inside five minutes to win their Group H match against Standard Liege in Belgium.

Eliaquim Mangala fired the hosts ahead before Milan Jovanovic netted from the penalty spot.

Arsenal, without goalkeeper Manuel Almunia and forward Robin van Persie, fought back through Nicklas Bendtner, with Thomas Vermaelen and Eduardo securing the victory.

Dirk Kuyt scored the only goal as Liverpool laboured to see off a determined Debrecen in Group E at Anfield.

The Holland striker stabbed home in first-half injury time after goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic half-saved Fernando Torres' shot.

Steven Gerrard flashed a volley over the crossbar midway through the second half but it was a frustrating night against the Hungarian champions, making their debut in the group stages.
