In Group B of the Europa League, things are getting more interesting.

"Marseille" at home defeated Athens AEK football players 3:1 after a tough match.

In the first half, Vitinha put Gattuso's players ahead.

The Greeks were ready to respond at the beginning of the second half. In the 53rd minute, Orbelinas Pineda equalized the score.

Soon the guests found themselves in an undesirable situation. Cicanas Stankovičius earned a penalty kick for his own goal in the 57th minute and was sent off for a last-ditch foul.

Amine Harit converted the penalty, and in the 69th minute, Jordan Veretout also scored from the penalty spot.

"Brighton" will play against "Ajax" at 22:00.

Meanwhile, "Real Betis" in Group C won 1:0 against Cyprus' "Aris" football players and after 3 rounds has 6 points.

"West Ham" suffered a 1:2 defeat against "Olympiakos" away.
