‘He’s got the X-factor’ – Carney likens Dortmund star Gittens to Cole

23'
BACK IN EINDHOVEN
Ethan Nwaneri has doubled Arsenal's advantage. After not even 25 minutes, that tie feels over.
22'
Borussia Dortmund
LOVELY GOAL! BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1-0 LILLE (ADEYEMI)
The corner is headed clear to Adeyemi, just outside the box, left of centre, and he times a gorgeous, cut-across half-volley – think Thiago for Liverpool against Porto – that zips along the turf and inside the near post. Beautiful behaviour.
21'
EXCELLENT FROM ADEYEMI
He darts by Ismaily on the outside, punches a square-pass seeking to give Guirassy a tap-in, and Diakite slides to concede the corner.
20'
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE ANYTHING HAPPENED
This is not, so far, a great game.
18'
IN EINDHOVEN
Jurrien Timber has given Arsenal the lead.
16'
THE PATTERN APPEARS SET
Dortmund dominate the ball, Lille hope to hit on the counter.
15'
GITTENS LOOKS IN THE MOOD
A meg then a drive, he sends the ball wide, and when Brandt crosses for Svensson at the back post, Meunier wins an important header.
13'
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS GAME
But there's something of Pedri about Rodrygo: a player who'd be the star of any team, bar the one he's in.
12'
GROSS FIRES A FINE PASS FROM TOUCHLINE TO OPPOSITE BY-LINE
But Adeyemi can't quite catch up with it. Nice idea, though.
10'
GOOD WORK FROM GITTENS
Oozing towards the box, then sliding a pass in behind for Guirassy who, rather than hit a shot first time, steps over the ball, then shoots wide of the near post.
7'
LILLE SLOW IT DOWN
Looking to bait the press, then pass through the lines to Haraldson. But Dortmund cover the spaces well, so eventually Alexsandro wellies a shot from distance that flies over the top.
6'
ADEYEMI BATTLES FOR THE BALL 20 YARDS FROM GOAL
And it breaks for Gittens, who's crowded out. There's a decent tempo to this, though not, as yet, much quality.
4'
LILLE HAVEN'T YET SETTLED
Meantime, though, Rodrygo has just scored an absolute pearler for Real in the Madrid derby. It'll take something for someone to beat them – again.
3'
ALLOWED SPACE DOWN THE RIGHT
Adeyemi cuts inside and drags a low shot just wide of the near post.
2'
THE REF
José María Sánchez looks like he and his bandmates have just got three nos at X Factor auditions.
1'
AAAAND AWAY WE GO!
HERE THEY COME!
The away end explodes with flares.
19:55
THERE'S A DECENT ROW IN THE GROUND
And our teams are tunnelled.

LILLE, MEANWHILE
Also have centre-forward to feed, though David is, for mine, a rung or two below Guirassy. They'll also expect Mbappe to target the space in behind the Dortmund defence – he's got the pace on Can – with Haraldson dropping into pockets.
