international Gio Reyna set up the other two goals for Dortmund, exchanging passes with English teenager Jude Bellingham in a slick move for the third. Also in Group G, Marco Reus took his tally to 22 goals in 57 Champions League matches by opening the scoring in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 win over Copenhagen. Phil Foden and Ruben Dias scored the other goals for City in a dominant performance at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland both struck doubles to break Champions League records as Paris, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Dortmund made strong ...

Two goals in five second-half minutes were enough to take Benfica past Maccabi Haifa in Lisbon. Mbappé scored twice in the opening 22 minutes to set Paris on course for victory. Key stat: Goalkeeper Alexander Meyer marked his first Dortmund appearance with a clean sheet. Two goals towards the end of the first half from Marco Reus and Raphaël Guerreiro set the dominant German side on course for a comfortable win. Key stat: Haaland has taken just 20 appearances to score 25 Champions League goals, eclipsing Ruud van Nistelrooy's previous record of 30 games. Haaland continued his charmed start to life at City as he scored twice in an impressive victory in Spain. The hosts drew level through Mohamed Simakan's rising finish, yet Shved stuck again almost immediately to restore the lead before a classy third on the break from Mykhaylo Mudryk. After containing early pressure, they went ahead when Marian Shved capitalised on Péter Gulácsi's mistake to roll into an empty net from distance. Eden Hazard, a first-half substitute for Karim Benzema, added a third with a close-range finish following a neat move. Milan levelled when a fine team move was finished by Alexis Saelemaekers. 14/09: Mislav Oršić was the match-winner as Dinamo stunned Chelsea.
