In a night that saw goals flow in abundance, Marseille secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring twice to seal the win for the French side. Newcastle's away form has been their downfall this season, and they have now lost their last four games on the road.
Aubameyang's first goal came just two minutes into the second half, a stunning strike from wide on the right after Nick Pope made an inexplicable decision to charge out of his area. Aubameyang then repeated the feat with another clinical finish at the near post as Newcastle struggled to contain the Marseille winger.
Meanwhile, in Group E, Bayer Leverkusen dealt Manchester City their first Champions League defeat of the season, winning 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Alex Grimaldo and Patrik Schick scored for Leverkusen, who now sit top of the group ahead of City and Porto.
In another high-scoring match, Chelsea thrashed Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, with Estevão Willian scoring two goals in a dramatic display that saw him prove himself to be one of the best young players in the world. The Brazilian winger delighted in tearing Barça apart, leaving Pau Cubarsí and Alejandro Balde with twisted blood.
The night also saw a 4-0 win for Borussia Dortmund over Villarreal, with Karim Adeyemi scoring twice and Daniel Svensson heading in the winner late on. In Norway, Bodo/Glimt came from behind to level with Juventus after Lois Openda equalised for the Old Lady.
As the night drew to a close, Napoli extended their lead over Qarabag 2-0 with goals from Scott McTominay and a solo effort by Estevão Willian. The result left City's Pep Guardiola questioning his team selection, as the manager rested several key players due to a week-long break.

Aubameyang is on fire 
and Newcastle's away form is a joke 
2-1? More like 10-0 in their heads 
Meanwhile, Leverkusen finally took down City - about time 
And Willian is the real deal - he can't be stopped! 
I'm loving how Chelsea is on fire right now! Willian's skills are insane 
and that 3-0 win over Barça was a masterclass! 
What's going on with City, though? Resting key players in the middle of a big week? 
That's gotta be frustrating for Guardiola. And Newcastle's away form is like they're allergic to scoring... 
Aubameyang's got some serious goal-scoring magic 
pierre-emerick aubameyang is a beast on the pitch right now 2 goals in one match is just crazy 
. We were all cheering along with him when Aubameyang scored that first goal... I mean, who makes a decision to charge out of their own area? 
. Anyway, it's so cool to see kids like Aubameyang making a name for themselves in sports and I'm glad my son is getting inspired by them!
anyway Leverkusen totally crushed Manchester City, that's a big upset. And Chelsea thrashin Barcelona 3-0 is insane, Willian is like a superstar now 
marseille is having an amazing season right now and pierre-emerick aubameyang is just on fire!!! 2 goals in one game is insane 
but hey, at least they gave it a go 
️ Can't deny, sometimes you're the master of your domain, other times it just feels like you're lost in space 
Like, what is going on with Manchester City? They're literally getting destroyed in the Champions League already?! 
And now they've got Pep questioning his own team selection... that's gotta be frustrating for him! 
That Aubameyang goal was insane though, like what a strike! 
. 
, Willian is a superstar in the making! And Dortmund is killing it too 
.
️ and we got some amazing results 
they got two awesome goals from Aubameyang and now they are in great position for the Champions League playoffs... Newcastle United is really struggling this season and it's no surprise that they lost again...
