Borussia Dortmund blitzed to a resounding 4-0 victory over a 10-man Villarreal side, halting a three-match winless streak in impressive fashion.
The Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy was the catalyst, opening the scoring with a header from a corner in added time just before the half-time break.
He doubled his tally early in the second half, pouncing after his initial penalty was saved by goalkeeper Luiz Júnior, reacting quickest to tap in the rebound.
Villarreal's task was made more difficult when Juan Foyth was sent off for handling a goal-bound strike from Karim Adeyemi, giving away the fateful penalty.
Just a short time after, Adeyemi got his goal, firing home from inside the box to make it 3-0, before Daniel Svensson sealed the emphatic win with a powerful header in the dying moments of the match.
The outcome propelled Dortmund to fourth position in the standings with 10 points from five games, tied with Chelsea and Manchester City.
Villarreal, in contrast, fell to third from bottom with a meager one point.
Juventus FC Grab Late Victory
Juventus needed a stoppage-time winner from substitute Jonathan David to overcome Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt 3-2 and secure their first victory of this campaign's competition.
The hosts looked to have snatched a point when Sondre Brunstad Fet converted an 87th-minute penalty, erasing goals from Juve's Loïs Openda and Weston McKennie, who had turned around Ole Didrik Blomberg's first-half first goal.
However, the late drama was not over, as the hosts were beaten in added time when goalkeeper Nikita Haikin spilled a shot from half-time substitute Kenan Yildiz, allowing David to pounce first and fire home the decisive goal.
