Recap

Milan's return to the European stage started in spectacular fashion, as it took midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu just seven minutes to open the scoring against Austria Wien with a stunning strike.

ItalianFootballTV loved it:

The Rossoneri continued their dominance and added to the lead through a brace from Andre Silva, while the defence was barely troubled by the hosts before the break.

Alexandar Borkovic pulled one back for Austria before Silva completed his hat-trick, and substitute Suso added to the goal-fest.

Atalanta may not have played their Europa League opener at home―they were forced to move to Sassuolo―but the Italians were all over Everton in the first half, with Papu Gomez, Andrea Masiello and Bryan Cristante all getting on the scoresheet.

Gomez's sensational strike could hardly be blamed on the defence, but the other two goals came courtesy of some pedestrian efforts from the Toffees. Radio presenter Patrick Boyland saw no positives:

The Toffees barely improved after the break, as the team suffered a nightmare start to their campaign.

Memphis Depay converted a penalty, but Lyon conceded a late goal against Limassol, and Hoffenheim suffered a shock loss at home against Braga.

In the late fixtures, Arsenal turned an early deficit into a win over FC Koln. The German side took the lead through Jhon Cordoba, and comfortably survived the first half against a lackluster Gunners squad.

COPA90's Aaron West was far from impressed:

But Sead Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez and Hector Bellerin turned the situation around after the break, handing the hosts the three points.

Lazio completed an epic comeback to beat Vitesse 3-2, with Alessandro Murgia scoring the winner after 75 minutes.

Real Sociedad crushed Rosenborg 4-0, and Athletic Bilbao earned a point away to Hertha Berlin. Mario Balotelli was also on point in AS Nice's 5-1 demolition of Zulte Waregem.
