However, they could have a tough game in the knockout stages, with Bayern Munich among the teams they may be paired with. Looking at the table, all the big teams are safe as it stands and no major shocks in terms of teams going out. John McGinn stops Idah from running through before Hatate is inches away from scoring a spectacular long-distance effort. Meanwhile, Barcelona have re-taken the lead against Atalanta thanks to Ronald Araujo and are consequently set to pip Liverpool to top spot.
As I type, Schmeichel passes it straight to Watkins before atoning for his error by making a brilliant save. A brilliant counter-attacking move by Villa ends with Watkins sweeping it into the empty net, aided again by some generous Celtic defending. It has been an eventful day for the England international, who hours ago was the subject of a rejected bid by Arsenal.
The full-back tries to find Haaland with the cross, but instead, Joel Ordonez unwittingly puts it into his own net. Serhou Guirassy has also hit his second of the night, putting Borussia Dortmund ahead against Shakhtar Donetsk. A brilliant finish from teenager Ethan Nwaneri has put Arsenal ahead having been a goal behind.
That leaves the Gunners third in the table and avoiding defeat will guarantee a top-eight finish. Adam Idah scores Celtic's second goal of the night. Engles flicks it through brilliantly, and Hatate crosses for Idah, who times his run perfectly and hammers the ball home from close range. That ends a game run without a goal for the Cork native and it could hardly have come at a more opportune time. A well-worked move results in Watkins applying the finish but Johnston is in the right place to clear the ball off the line.
Scales got a good block in a few minutes ago, and Idah has had a couple of promising moments in attack. Morgan Rogers celebrating scoring for Aston Villa. Scales tried to block it but it ended up getting a slight deflection off the Ireland international on its way in.
