  • Midfielder scores for first time since heart surgery

  • Ten-man Atlético hang on for draw against Stuttgart

Scott McTominay scored his first two goals of the season to help Napoli beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3 and relieve pressure on the coach, Massimiliano Allegri. McTominay, who also hit the post, missed a month of the season after undergoing a surgical procedure in early September to treat an irregular heartbeat.

Matteo Politano’s first-minute opener was cancelled out by Bodø’s Jens Petter Hauge. McTominay restored Napoli’s lead before the break only for Andreas Helmersen to again level for the Norwegian club.

The Scotland midfielder struck again on 71 minutes and Odin Bjørtuft’s late own goal secured the result. Bodø still managed an injury-time consolation from Sondre Brunstad Fet.

Atlético Madrid held on with 10 men for a 1-1 draw with Stuttgart, foiling the German underdogs’ bid to join PSG and Liverpool at the top of the table on nine points.

Julián Alvarez’s goal for Atlético had cancelled out Jamie Leweling’s opener when the midfielder Morten Hjulmand made a reckless sliding tackle from behind on Angelo Stiller to leave Atlético clinging on.

Serhou Guirassy scored twice but Borussia Dortmund wasted plenty more chances in a 2-1 awat win over Azerbaijan’s Sabah.

It wasn’t the sort of convincing victory the German team were hoping for, after last week saw a loss to Bodø/Glimt before a draw at Union Berlin which allowed Bayern Munich to take the Bundesliga top spot.

Pavel Kacor’s leaping volley in the 90th minute earned Slavia Prague a 2-2 draw at Fenerbahce, extending the hosts’ long wait for a Champions League win. The Turkish side had been leading 2-0 early on before a defensive blunder by Mattéo Guendouzi let the Czech team back into the game.

PSV won 1-0 against Porto thanks to Guus Til’s 57th-minute winner as the Portuguese side slumped to a third loss. Roma cruised to a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava with Mario Hermoso, Nahuel Molina and Niccolò Pisilli on the scoresheet before Donyell Malen added a fourth from the penalty spot.
