UCL wrap: Atletico douse United, Bayern held by Vikings as Barcelona hit comeback win
Atletico made an early statement against Manchester United, scoring inside the opening minute before Ademola Lookman sealed a 2-0 win late in the second half. United's task became harder when Leny Yoro was sent off, leaving the visitors with little chance of mounting a comeback.
Bayern Munich had a more eventful evening against Viking Stavanger. The Norwegian side went two goals ahead before Harry Kane led a Bayern fightback, but Michael Olise's dismissal shifted the momentum again. Herman Johan Haugen scored late to earn Viking a 3-3 draw.
Inter, meanwhile, endured the biggest shock of the night. Club Brugge scored four times at San Siro, with Nicolo Tresoldi's hat-trick helping the Belgian side claim a 4-3 victory despite a late push from the hosts. The result stood out on a night when several established European sides were made to work hard for points.
Barcelona recovered from going behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul, while Arsenal scored three times in seven second-half minutes to defeat Lille 3-0. Villarreal also came from behind to beat Napoli, and RB Leipzig, Sporting CP and Sabah Baku collected wins elsewhere.
Bayern Munich were forced to settle for a 3-3 draw after Viking Stavanger produced a spirited performance in Norway. Gianni Stensness scored in the second minute before Peter Christiansen doubled the home side's advantage in the 38th minute, leaving Bayern with a difficult task at half-time.
Harry Kane began the comeback from the penalty spot in the 54th minute and levelled six minutes later with a header. Luis Diaz then put Bayern ahead in the 71st minute, seemingly completing a turnaround that had looked unlikely earlier in the match.
However, Michael Olise was sent off in the 74th minute, leaving Bayern to defend their narrow advantage with 10 men. Viking capitalised late on, with Herman Johan Haugen scoring in the 90th minute to rescue a point.
Kane extended his scoring run to nine consecutive Champions League matches, but the personal milestone offered little consolation after Bayern surrendered their lead in the closing stages.
Barcelona had to recover from an early setback against Galatasaray, who took the lead through Aleksei Batrakov in the 28th minute. Joao Cancelo equalised in the 43rd minute, allowing the visitors to go into half-time on level terms.
Fermin Lopez put Barcelona ahead five minutes after the restart, and Anthony Gordon added another in the 53rd minute. Karim Adeyemi scored in the 65th minute to complete a 4-1 win, giving Barcelona a convincing result after an initially difficult start.
Arsenal were equally efficient against Lille. Jurrien Timber broke the deadlock in the 64th minute, Eberechi Eze doubled the lead three minutes later and Bukayo Saka completed the scoring in the 71st minute. Three goals in seven minutes turned a tight contest into a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Premier League side.
Inter Milan suffered one of the night's most surprising defeats, going down 4-3 to Club Brugge despite scoring three times at home. Nicolo Tresoldi was the standout performer, scoring a hat-trick as the Belgian side repeatedly exposed Inter's defensive weaknesses.
Tresoldi opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 30th minute after Hakan Calhanoglu fouled Carlos Forbs. Lautaro Martinez brought Inter level before the break, but the hosts could not establish control of the contest.
Tresoldi restored Brugge's advantage after a defensive misunderstanding allowed Forbs to play him through, and he completed his hat-trick in the 74th minute. Romeo Vermant added another in the 87th minute, leaving Inter with a steep climb in the closing stages.
Martinez scored again before Ange-Yoan Bonny found the net in stoppage time, but the late goals came too late to prevent a 4-3 defeat. Brugge's clinical finishing proved decisive in a match where Inter's attacking output was not enough to compensate for their defensive problems.
Villarreal also recovered from an early setback, beating Napoli 3-1. Amir Rrahmani put Napoli ahead in the eighth minute, but Georges Mikautadze equalised in the 23rd before Santiago Mourio scored three minutes later. Tani Oluwaseyi added a third in the 86th minute to seal the win.
RB Leipzig edged PSV Eindhoven 1-0 through Brajan Gruda's 75th-minute goal. Goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt was also important for Leipzig, saving a penalty from Ivan Perisic.
Sporting CP beat Lens 2-0, with Luis Suarez scoring in the 22nd minute and Issa Doumbia adding a second in the 74th. Sabah Baku recorded the same scoreline against Slavia Prague, thanks to goals from Kaheem Parris in the 49th minute and Joy-Lance Mickels in the 88th.
Inter's defeat and Bayern's late collapse provided the night's biggest talking points, while Atletico made their chances count against United. Barcelona and Arsenal, meanwhile, responded well after their opponents threatened to make things difficult.
