Real Madrid came from two goals down to secure a stunning 5-2 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens had stunned the Bernabeu by giving Dortmund a 2-0 lead before half-time but Los Blancos roared back thanks in part to a Vinicius Junior hat-trick.

Antonio Rudiger set Real on the way by halving the deficit on the hour mark before Vinicius levelled the game with his first by stroking the ball into the net.

Lucas Vazquez then completed the turnaround in the 83rd minute by smashing home after a one-two with Kylian Mbappe, before Vinicius added a stunning fourth.

The Brazilian had his hat-trick in stoppage time by skipping past a few defenders and slipping the ball past Gregor Kobel.

Victory takes Carlo Ancelotti’s men to the cusp of the top eight in the Champions League and sees them bounce back from their shock defeat to Lille last time out.

Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 PSV Eindhoven

Paris Saint-Germain dropped more points in the Champions League as they were held 1-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven.

The Ligue 1 champions needed an Achraf Hakimi equaliser to rescue a point against the Dutch side after Noah Lang had opened the scoring.

It leaves PSG on four points in the Champions League so far after an unconvincing win over Girona before 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal, with PSV still winless with two points from their three games.

Juventus 0-1 Stuttgart

Juventus suffered their first defeat under manager Thiago Motta after being beaten 1-0 by Stuttgart.

El Bilal Toure scored the only goal of the game to stop Juve in their tracks having won their first two Champions League games of the campaign.

The German side ran out for a deserved win, which could have been more had it not been for a controversially disallowed goal and a missed penalty.
