Bordeaux recorded their first win in the second game in Group A as they overcame CFR Cluj 1-0.

The Romanian side had been level with Chelsea on four points, but they were undone by a Cadu own goal in the 54th minute, and were then reduced to 10 men when Eugen Trica was sent off in the 90th minute.

PSV Eindhoven and Marseille were both desperate to claim three points at Philips Stadion after defeats to Liverpool and Atletico in their opening two matches in Group D, and it was the Dutch team who ran out 2-0 winners.

It was evident that the sides were low on confidence in an uninspiring first half, before Ibrahim Afellay missed an open goal for PSV moments after the restart.

The miss did not prove costly, however, as Danny Koevermans nodded in Stijn Wuytens' corner to give PSV a lead after 72 minutes.

Koevermans then added a second to keep PSV's slim hopes of finishing in the top two alive, while Marseille must now look to win their last three games to climb back into contention.

Barcelona continued their relentless march towards qualification with a thumping win over Basle.

Lionel Messi opened the scoring in stunning fashion after just four minutes as he started, and then rounded off, a flowing move by slotting home Daniel Alves' delightful chip at the back post.

Barca doubled their lead on 15 minutes when Xavi picked out Sergio Busquets for the midfielder to score his first Champions League goal, and Bojan Krkic then made it 3-0 in the 22nd minute with a shot from the edge of the area.

Krkic grabbed his second of the night in the 46th minute after a swift Barcelona counter-attack, and two minutes later Xavi drove in a powerful fifth to pile the misery on Basle.

Sporting Lisbon moved three points clear of Shakhtar Donetsk in the battle for second place after a dramatic 1-0 victory in Ukraine.

Shakhtar enjoyed most of the possession but a clever piece of skill by Derlei in the 76th minute created the opening for Liedson to slide home the winner.

Cypriot minnows Anorthosis Famagusta fell to their first defeat as they lost 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Inter were initially frustrated but broke down their resistance on the stroke of half-time when Adriano headed in Maicon's pinpoint delivery from the right wing.

Anorthosis were not able to battle back to leave Inter in pole position to progress to the second round from Group B.

Werder Bremen played out their third consecutive draw as they were held 2-2 by Panathinaikos.

There was a hint of controversy about Bremen's goal in the 29th minute as Per Mertesacker appeared to control Mesut Ozil's free-kick high on his arm before lashing past Alexandros Tzorvas.

Panathinaikos equalised seven minutes later when Vaggelis Mantzios sent a looping header into the net from Gabriel's cross.

The Greek side then took the lead through Mantzios in the 68th minute, only for Hugo Almeida to equalise with seven minutes remaining.

The Bulgarian netted poacher's strikes either side of half-time with Wayne Rooney adding the gloss late on to give the holders a 3-0 win.

Both Berbatov's goals looked suspiciously offside but the English champions still fully deserved their win against a Celtic outfit lacking injured strikers Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Georgios Samaras and Chris Killen.

But any debate was ended with a trademark Rooney strike on 75 minutes to leave United sitting top of Group E with seven points.

The hosts suffered an injury blow ahead of kick-off, Rio Ferdinand hit by a groin strain in the run-up to the game. He was replaced by Jonny Evans with Gary Neville handed the captain's arm band.

The home side were out of the traps quickly, Anderson just failing to get enough on a Nani free-kick.

As United pressed with pace, the Scottish champions defended robustly, and in the 12th minute they had the first real attempt on goal when midfielder Aiden McGeady sent in a left-footed drive from 20 yards which Edwin van der Sar was happy to push around his left post for a corner.

Van der Sar was called into action again when he had to tip over a brilliant Caldwell volley from 25 yards out.

Arsenal were at their attacking best in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night as they recorded an emphatic 5-2 success over Fenerbahce to end the Turkish club's impressive home record.

Fenerbahce headed into the encounter unbeaten at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in 15 games but found themselves two goals down after just 11 minutes, with Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott converting from Cesc Fabregas through-balls.

Going forward the Gunners were silky but at the back they often looked exposed, and Fener took advantage in the 19th minute when Daniel Guiza's volley across goal caught Mikael Silvestre to find its way past Manuel Almunia.

Arsene Wenger's side continued to throw bodies forward with gusto and extended their advantage through the impressive Abou Diaby before the break and then a close-range strike from Alexandre Song early in the second period.

Guiza reduced arrears 12 minutes from full-time as he latched onto a long pass to toe over Alumina, but, as Aaron Ramsey netted a late fifth, a dramatic comeback was not be as Arsenal ensured they are that step closer to reaching the knockout stages.

Lyon, however, were rattled early on as Steaua netted twice in the opening 11 minutes in Bucharest.

First, Arthuro converted a sublime cross from George Ogararu on eight minutes, and 11 minutes later Dorin Goian added a second as he met a Banel Nicolita corner with a combination of head, neck and back.

Lyon, though, were deservedly back on level terms as Kader Keita converted in stunning style on 23 minutes and highly-rated Karim Benzema equalised shortly after the half-hour mark.

But Steaua were again in front on the stroke of half time as Ovidiu Petre climbed the highest to head in at a corner.

The seesaw encounter continued in style and it was Lyon who enjoyed the better as Fred pounced on 69 minutes and Benzema grabbed his personal second two minutes later.

Fred made sure of the points with a fifth goal in injury time to move Lyon second in Group F.

Juventus have made their worst start to a season in 28 years, leaving manager Ranieri clinging to his job at Stadio delle Alpi, but a vital 2-1 home victory over Real Madrid will silence some doubters.

It was Juve who took an early lead in sensational style as Italian veteran Alessandro Del Piero curled in from 25 yards with Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas an awestruck spectator.

Juventus, who have won the European Cup on two occasions, then doubled their advantage four minutes after half time as Amauri headed in at the back post with the aid of a deflection off Real defender Gabriel Heinze.

Primera Liga champions Real pulled a goal back on 66 minutes as Ruud van Nistelrooy nodded his 61st goal in the Champions League, but Juve clung on for the points to move to the summit of Group H.

Bayern boss Klinsmann has also come in for criticism following a shaky domestic start, but his side continued their impressive European form with a 3-0 win over Fiorentina in Group F.

Germany international Miroslav Klose gave the home side the lead after only four minutes as he latched on to Luca Toni's header to finish with aplomb.

And then on 25 minutes Bastian Schweinsteiger demonstrated equal composure to deftly add a second after sending Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey the wrong way.

And in the dying minutes Bayern's Ze Roberto ensured Klinsmann will sleep soundly as he added a spectacular third.

Villarreal remain hot on the heels of United in Group E as they defeated Aalborg 6-3 at El Madrigal thanks to a Joseba Llorente treble.

Marek Saganowski gave Danish side Aalborg a surprise lead after 19 minutes, but Villarreal - suggested by some as potential dark horses in this season's competition - soon slipped into gear.

Former United forward Giuseppe Rossi (28) equalised and five minutes later Spanish full-back Joan Capdevila unleashed an unstoppable, half-volleyed, drive to hand Manuel Pellegrini's side the lead.

But the Yellow Submarine's advantage lasted just three minutes as Aalborg, managed by ex-Arsenal chief Bruce Rioch, restored parity through a dinked Thomas Envoldsen finish.

After the break Villarreal again turned on the style as Llorente (67) followed up a Marcos Senna drive and the forward then grabbed his side's fourth shortly after.

Andreas Johansson pulled a goal back for Aalborg with 13 minutes remaining, but French veteran Robert Pires showed all of his experience two minutes later to restore Villarreal's three-goal advantage and Llorente wrapped up his hat-trick in the dying stages.

Porto were defeated 1-0 by Dynamo Kiev in Tuesday night's only quiet contest to end Jesualdo Ferreira's side's phenomenal record of one defeat in their last 21 games at Estadio do Drago ahead of kick-off.

The visitors struck after 27 minutes as Olexandr Aliyev placed a free-kick beyond the reach of Porto goalkeeper Nuno to secure the points in Group G.

Zenit St Petersburg and BATE Borisov both look unlikely to qualify from Group H after playing out a 1-1 draw in the early kick-off.

An enthralling opening 45 minutes at Petrovsky Stadium saw the woodwork rattled on three separate occasions as Zenit efforts from Fatih Tekke and Danny sandwiched Igor Stasevich's stab for BATE.

Seven minutes after the interval, the opening goal arrived as - against the run of play - Belarusian outfit BATE stunned their hosts with a textbook counter-attacking punch when half-time substitute Pavel Nekhaychik slotted in from close range.

Tekke deservedly rescued a point for Zenit - who remain without a win in this year's competition - with nine minutes remaining as he broke the BATE offside trap to volley an equaliser, but the draw leaves both sides facing a battle to progress.
