Borussia Dortmund powered to a resounding 4-0 triumph over a 10-man Villarreal side, halting a three-match winless streak in style.
The Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy was the star, breaking the deadlock with a header from a corner in added time just before the interval.
He added a second early in the second half, pouncing after his initial spot-kick was saved by keeper Luiz Júnior, reacting quickest to tap in the loose ball.
Villarreal's task was made even harder when Juan Foyth was shown a red card for deliberately handling a goal-bound strike from Karim Adeyemi, conceding the decisive penalty.
Just three minutes later, Adeyemi found the net, scoring from the penalty area to make it 3-0, before Daniel Svensson wrapped up the emphatic win with a powerful header in the dying moments of the match.
The outcome lifted Dortmund to fourth position in the standings with 10 points from five matches, tied with Chelsea FC and Manchester City.
Villarreal, meanwhile, fell to just above the relegation zone with a meager one point.
Juventus Snatch Late Victory
Juventus needed a stoppage-time winner from substitute Jonathan David to defeat Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt 3-2 and secure their first victory of this season's competition.
The hosts looked to have snatched a point when Sondre Brunstad Fet scored 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 failed to hold a shot from half-time substitute Kenan Yildiz, allowing David to pounce first and fire home the winning goal.
Scott McTominay Spares SSC 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 Scotland midfielder headed home 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 kept out.
