In an impressive start to their UEFA Europa League 2024-25 campaign, Tottenham Hotspur triumphed 3-0 over Qarabag despite playing with ten men for most of the match after Radu Dragusin's early red card. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by Pape Matar Sarr's volley from a corner that doubled the lead, and Dominik Solanki sealed the victory with a rebound goal in the 68th minute. Tottenham's manager, Ange Postecoglou, praised the team's intent despite the numerical disadvantage. Meanwhile, AS Roma settled for a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao after Artem Dovbyk's first-half goal was equalized by Aitor Paredes late in the game. Other matches included Fenerbahce's narrow 2-1 win over Union St. Gilloise and Ajax's notable 4-0 victory against Besiktas. The results highlight the competitive nature of this season's Europa League.
