Burn and Joelinton were among nine players who kept their places following the weekend defeat against West Ham and the experienced duo repaid the faith of head coach Eddie Howe at St James' Park. It was Burn who opened the scoring, directing a superb bullet header in off the upright from Kieran Trippier's free-kick on 11 minutes. Injury-hit Athletic did not crumble, however, and left-back Adama Boiro struck the post on the volley while Nick Pope had to be alert at his near post to keep out forward Unai Gomez's shot with his foot. But Newcastle, who lost Anthony Gordon to a hip issue, doubled their lead after the break. The recalled Harvey Barnes created space inside the box with some neat footwork before scooping the ball across to the unmarked Joelinton, who headed past Unai Simon. Athletic rallied again and Pope pushed substitute Nico Serrano's shot behind late on, but Newcastle saw out the game to move above Real Madrid into sixth place in the standings. Howe's team, in the process, recorded three straight victories in a major European competition for the first time since 2007.

The Italians had won their three previous games in the league phase of the competition, scoring nine goals without reply. That dominance looked set to continue as they made a strong start to this game, but Lautaro Martinez missed several decent chances and had one effort cleared off the line as the hosts struggled to make the breakthrough. But the deadlock was broken just before half-time when Inter captain Martinez scrambled in from close range after his initial shot had been blocked. It felt like Inter would go on to win comfortably only for Kairat to equalise early in the second half when Ofri Arad headed into the bottom corner. But Inter kept their cool and regained the lead when Carlos Augusto drove in from the edge of the box. Inter are level with Bayern Munich and Arsenal on 12 points from four games so far while Kairat are still searching for their first win.

Pep Guardiola's men are unbeaten in their opening four matches and a third win moved them up to fourth in the table, with the top eight sides qualifying automatically for the last 16. Nico Kovac's Dortmund side had started on the front foot but faded away as the hosts scored twice in seven first-half minutes to wrestle control of the contest. Foden was impressive throughout and he stung the palms of Gregor Kobel with a powerful strike from outside the box, before a curling free-kick straight into the hands of the visiting goalkeeper. It was third time lucky for the Englishman in the 22nd minute, picking the ball up outside the box and, as the Dortmund defenders stood off, Foden rolled a delightful finish low into the bottom corner. It was his first Champions League goal in exactly a year after netting in a 4-1 defeat by Sporting in last season's competition. City then attacked at will and seemed intent on steamrollering the opposition as Kobel tipped over a close-range effort from Nico O'Reilly, before the prolific Haaland thumped home a cutback from Jeremy Doku in the 29th minute. Kobel was kept busy, batting away a thunderous drive from Tijjani Reijnders. But City pushed on after the restart and Foden doubled his tally in the 57th minute by curling home a delightful second. Dortmund, who are 14th in the table, staged a late rally and Waldemar Anton poked home a consolation from a Julian Ryerson cross. But substitute Rayan Cherki restored City's three-goal advantage in added time with a lovely run and neat finish.

The hosts thought they had won the game in injury time when Romeo Vermant slid in on Wojciech Szczesny before scoring into an empty net - but the goal was disallowed by the video assistant referee for a foul. Club Brugge took a sixth-minute lead when Carlos Forbs burst away down the right before squaring the ball for Nicolo Tresoldi to slide in. But less than two minutes later Barca were level through Ferran Torres' first-time finish from Fermin Lopez's cross. Fermin then curled a shot off the post - the first of three times Barca would hit the woodwork. And suddenly they were behind again as Brugge played their way through their high line too easily and Christos Tzolis fed Forbs, who slotted home inside the box. Barca hit the crossbar twice, through Jules Kounde and then Eric Garcia's drive from at least 30 yards out. And then Yamal struck as he beat two defenders with wonderful skill before playing a one-two with Dani Olmo and beating another man before slotting in. Forbs, who spent last season on loan with Wolves, missed a huge opportunity - but moments later made up for it by running on to Hans Vanaken's through ball before clipping a shot past Szczesny. Brugge thought they had a chance to make it 4-2 when Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty, for an Alex Balde tackle on Forbs, but the decision was overturned by the video assistant referee. And Barca took advantage of that let off when Yamal's cross was nodded into his own net by the unfortunate Tzolis. But right at the end Szczesny, who had dawdled on the ball, got hugely lucky when VAR bailed him out after losing the ball to Vermant.

The Nigeria striker took his European tally to six goals this term as he opened the scoring in the 59th minute before firing home two from the penalty spot. With his hat-trick, Osimhen reached 25 goals in European competition and overtook former Inter Milan and Newcastle forward Obafemi Martins to become Nigeria's all-time top scorer in Europe. The 26-year-old is the top scorer in the league phase of the Champions League this term, one goal ahead of Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. Ajax had entered half-time on level terms thanks to goalkeeper Remko Pasveer, who made two brilliant saves to stop Osimhen. But Pasveer could do little to hold him back after the restart, with Osimhen racing in front of defender Josip Sutalo to head home Leroy Sane's cross. Ajax's evening went from bad to worse when the referee awarded the Turkish side two penalties - both for handball offences. Osimhen effortlessly slotted in the first, which had been given after a video assistant referee (VAR) review showed the ball ricocheting off the leg of Youri Baas and on to the Dutchman's arm. And he made no mistake with the second spot-kick, conceded by Anton Gaaei, as he blasted his strike into the top-right corner. The result leaves Ajax rooted to the bottom of the table, with the Dutch side having lost all four of their Champions League games by an aggregate score of 14-1. Galatasaray, meanwhile, moved up to ninth and closed in on a place in the top eight, where teams seal automatic progress to the knockout round.
