    UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.. Night of home wins



    All five of Tuesday's play-off first legs ended in home wins as Lazio, Sporting CP, BATE Borisov, Astana and, inspired by Memphis Depay, Manchester United ran out victorious.
    Manchester United 3-1 Club Brugge
    Summer signing Memphis Depay scored twice, his first a brilliant individual effort which involved him flicking the ball over a defender and driving a shot past Sébastien Bruzzese, as United recovered from the shock of Michael Carrick's early own goal. Belgian international Marouane Fellaini headed a late third against his countrymen.
    Lazio 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen
    Lazio are on the verge of a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2007/08 season thanks to half-time substitute Keita's neat 77th-minute finish.
    Sporting CP 2-1 CSKA Moskva
    Islam Slimani's low drive eight minutes from time settled this first leg in the Lions' favour. Seydou Doumbia had earlier had a penalty saved by Rui Patrício and then equalised, but it was not enough to secure CSKA a draw at the Estádio José Alvalade, scene of their 2005 UEFA Cup final triumph.
    BATE Borisov 1-0 Partizan
    BATE finally made their numerical advantage count as they eked out a narrow lead to take to Serbia next week. Partizan, down to ten men since the 45th-minute dismissal of Marko Jevtović, conceded a quarter of an hour from time when the unmarked Mikhail Gordeichuk nodded in a corner.
    Astana 1-0 APOEL
    Astana are 90 minutes away from becoming the first Kazakh club to play in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Baurzhan Dzholchiyev headed the only goal, powerfully meeting Foxi Kéthévoama's left-wing cross after 14 minutes.
