Inter Milan remained among the teams with a perfect record by beating Kairat
2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Barcelona was held at Club
Brugge and Erling Haaland extended his scoring streak in Manchester City's 4-1
home win over Borussia Dortmund.
Lautaro Martnez and Carlos Augusto scored a goal in each half for last year's
runner-up Inter, which joined Bayern Munich and Arsenal as the only teams with
four victories from four matches.
Kairat, the Kazakhstan club that remains among the winless teams in the league
phase, equalized with Ofri Arad early in the second half before Augusto gave
the hosts the victory.
Barcelona came from behind three times in its draw at Club Brugge, with Lamine
Yamal being decisive in the team's comeback in Belgium. He scored in the 61st
and it was his shot in the 77th that led to an own-goal by Club Brugge
midfielder Christos Tzolis for the 3-3 score.
Phil Foden netted twice for Man City, while Haaland scored his 27th goal in 17
matches for club and country this season. The Norway striker has scored 14
times in his last nine games. Only twice he failed to score in a game this
season.
Jos Mourinho's Benfica lost 1-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen for its fourth
straight loss in the league phase. Ajax also picked up its fourth consecutive
loss after a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray at home.
Newcastle beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at St. James' Park.
In the early games, Chelsea drew 2-2 at Qarabag, while Pafos earned its
first-ever league-phase win by beating Spanish club Villarreal 1-0 at home in
Cyprus.
