As 1st Airborne struggled, to their south, units of the 101st sent to take Best the day before, were forced to yield to German counter-attacks during the morning.
British tanks arriving during the day helped push back the Germans by late afternoon.
Later a small force of Panther tanks arrived at Son and started firing on the Bailey bridge.
These too were beaten back by anti-tank guns that had recently landed and the bridge was secured.
