Batshuayi double fuels Dortmund comeback win

Michy Batshuayi scored twice, the second goal arriving in stoppage time, to earn Borussia Dortmund a 3-2 comeback win over Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie Friday.

Elsewhere, Arsenal powered past Ostersund 3-0, Atletico Madrid thrashed Copenhagen 4-1 and Italian league leader Napoli slipped to a surprise 3-1 home defeat against Leipzig.

Batshuayi, who has been in sparkling form since joining from Chelsea on loan in the mid-season transfer window, helped host Dortmund record its first victory in European competition this season.

Arsene Wenger had expressed concern that his Arsenal team had never practiced, much less played, on an artificial surface like Swedish side Ostersund’s. He needn’t have worried. Arsenal had little trouble easing to a 3-0 win thanks to an early strike by Nacho Monreal and passes by Henrikh Mkhitaryan that led to two more goals.

Monreal scored after 13 minutes. Then Mkhitaryan intercepted a pass and his cross went in off an Ostersund player in the 24th minute.

He then laid on the third goal for Mesut Ozil in the 58th minute.
