Matchday 4 came to a dramatic conclusion on Wednesday with 23 goals across eight games, and almost a quarter of them coming from one game.

The day's most eventful game was Manchester United's 4-3 loss at Copenhagen, which started nicely for the English side. Rasmus Hojlund scored a brace within the first half-hour in his hometown, but United's nice day began to go wrong in the 42nd minute when Marcus Rashford was sent off for a foul on Elias Jelert. Copenhagen equalized by the half thanks to goals from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves.

United reclaimed the advantage thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty in the 69th minute but goals from Lukas Lerager Roony Bardghji in the last 10 minutes ensured Copenhagen would come out on top.

Here are all the scores from the day's action.

And just like that, Copenhagen are on the board. Ankersen's cross finds Goncalves, who then redirects the ball to Elyounoussi, who scores from close range. Never a dull moment for United, who were in good spirits just a few minutes ago but are now up 2-1 and down to 10 with 13 minutes of stoppage time to play after a medical event in the stands and a pitch invader halted play.
