Borussia Dortmund stormed to a decisive 4-0 triumph over a 10-man Villarreal side, halting a three-game winless streak in style.
The Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy was the hero, opening the scoring with a header from a corner in added time just before the half-time break.
He made it two early in the second half, pouncing after his initial spot-kick was saved by keeper Luiz Júnior, being the fastest to react to slot home the loose ball.
Villarreal's task was made even harder when Juan Foyth was shown a red card for handling a certain goal strike from Karim Adeyemi, conceding the fateful penalty.
Just three minutes later, Adeyemi got his goal, scoring from inside the box to make it 3-0, before Daniel Svensson wrapped up the emphatic win with a header in the final action of the match.
The result propelled Dortmund to fourth place in the standings with 10 points from five matches, tied with Chelsea FC and Man City.
Villarreal, meanwhile, fell to third from bottom with a solitary 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 maiden win of this season's competition.
The hosts looked to have snatched a point when Sondre Brunstad Fet converted an 87th-minute penalty, canceling out goals from Juve's Loïs Openda and Weston McKennie, who had turned around Ole Didrik Blomberg's first-half first goal.
However, the thrilling finish was not over, as the hosts were beaten in stoppage time when goalkeeper Nikita Haikin spilled a shot from half-time substitute Kenan Yildiz, allowing David to pounce first and slam in the winning goal.
McTominay Spares Napoli's Blushes
Scott McTominay spared the blushes for 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 caused an own goal from Marko Jankovic, after a spot-kick from Manchester United loanee Rasmus Højlund was saved.
