Atletico remain perfect

-

Yannick Carrasco scored the only goal of the game as Atletico Madrid maintained their 100% record in Group D with a 1-0 win at Rostov.

In-form Carrasco’s 62ndminute volley from a Juanfran cross proved enough to give Atletico the points in a game they largely dominated with Fernando Torres missing a number of fine chances.

Also in Group D, Bayern Munich won for the first time in four games as Thomas Muller’s 13th-minute effort set up a comfortabl­e 4-1 triumph over PSV Eindhoven.

Joshua Kimmich nodded home his side’s second on 21 minutes and despite Luciano Narsingh temporaril­y reducing the deficit, second-half strikes from Robert Lewandowsk­i and Arjen Robben relieved some of the pressure on boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Group B leaders Napoli saw their 100% record brought to an end as two Vincent Aboubakar goals helped Besiktas to a surprise 3-2 win in Italy.

The Turkish side led twice but Dries Mertens and Manolo Gabbiadini’s penalty equalised before Aboubakar’s header four minutes from time sent his side up to second.

The pressure continued to mount on Dynamo Kiev boss Sergei Rebrov after Eduardo Salvio’s penalty and a Franco Cervi effort gave Benfica a 2-0 win in Ukraine.
