AFC Sunderland drops points for the first time in this UEFA Europa League. On matchday three, they only managed a 1-1 draw at Lech Posen.

Kevin Danso is the only Austrian in the starting lineup for the early EL matches, but he has a tough outing. In the 41st minute, he is booked, partly for holding.

Tuterov gives the English side an early lead after just two minutes, but Bengtsson equalizes eight minutes after his substitution. Danso plays the full 90 minutes.

Two Teams Remain Perfect

Following the evening's early EL matches, Bayer Leverkusen and Ferencvaros are the two teams with three wins from three games.

Leverkusen is top of the group. They secured a 2-0 win at OFI Kreta, courtesy of a brace from Hofmann within two minutes (35th, 37th). Ferencvaros thrashes União Torreense 4-1.

After two opening wins, Juventus only manages a 2-2 draw against Stade Rennes. Celik (5th minute) put the "Old Lady" ahead after a Woltemade assist, but Tamari (14th) and Dia (43rd/penalty) temporarily turned the game around for the French side.

Woltemade himself scored the equalizer from the penalty spot (67th). Lucumi's apparent winning goal (88th) was disallowed for offside.
