Borussia Dortmund powered to a commanding 4-0 win over a reduced Villarreal side, halting a three-match winless spell in style.

The Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy was the hero, breaking the deadlock with a header from a corner in added time just before the interval.

He doubled his tally early in the second half, pouncing after his initial spot-kick was parried by goalkeeper Luiz Júnior, being the fastest to react to tap in the loose ball.

Villarreal's task was made more difficult when Juan Foyth was shown a red card for handling a certain goal strike from Karim Adeyemi, conceding the decisive penalty.

Just a short time after, Adeyemi got his goal, firing home from the penalty area to make it 3-0, before Daniel Svensson sealed the comprehensive win with a header in the final action of the match.

The outcome lifted Dortmund to fourth place in the standings with 10 points from five matches, level with Chelsea FC and Man City.

Villarreal, meanwhile, fell to just above the relegation zone with a solitary one point.

Juventus Snatch Late Victory

Juventus needed a last-gasp winner from substitute Jonathan David to defeat Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt 3-2 and claim their first victory of this season's competition.

The hosts looked to have snatched a draw when Sondre Brunstad Fet scored an 87th-minute penalty, erasing goals from Juve's Loïs Openda and Weston McKennie, who had overturned Ole Didrik Blomberg's first-half opener.

However, the thrilling finish was not over, as the hosts were undone in added time when goalkeeper Nikita Haikin failed to hold a shot from half-time substitute Kenan Yildiz, allowing David to react quickest and fire home the decisive goal.

McTominay Spares Napoli's Blushes

Scott McTominay spared the blushes for SSC Napoli as they marked the fifth anniversary of Diego Maradona's death with a 2-0 win over Qarabag.

The Scottish midfielder nodded in the first goal in the 65th minute and later forced an deflection from Marko Jankovic, after a spot-kick from Manchester United loanee Rasmus Højlund was saved.
