Holders Paris St Germain scored three times in seven minutes as they crushed Bayer Leverkusen 7-2 on a rampant night of Champions League goals.

There were 43 goals on the night in total as PSG hit seven, Barcelona six, PSV six and Inter Milan, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund four each.

Holders PSG had a man sent-off in the firrst half, as did Leverkusen, and saw Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele score on his comeback from injury. They took a seventh-minute lead through Willian Pacho’s far-post header.

Leverkusen had the chance to level with Alejandro Grimaldo’s 25th-minute penalty but the Spaniard hit the post.

It got worse for the hosts when captain Robert Andrich was sent off for elbowing Desire Doue in the 32nd minute. PSG went down to 10 men when Illia Zabarnyi felled Christian Kofane to give the hosts another spot-kick.

Aleix Garcia equalised but Leverkusen’s joy only lasted three minutes with Doue putting the visitors back in front before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it 3-1 with a shot off the post and Doue struck again to virtually ensure a third straight win in the competition for PSG this season.

Nuno Mendes slotted home to make it 5-1 in the 50th minute before Garcia pulled a goal back four minutes later, but Dembele scored in the 66th minute with an easy tap-in and Vitinha completed the rout. 

Dennis Man scored twice as PSV handed Napoli a 6-2 thrashing.

Scott McTominay put the Italians ahead in the 31st minute but the Dutch champions swept into a 2-1 lead within seven minutes as Alessandro Buongiorno put the ball into his own net and then Ismael Saibari scored on the counter-attack.

After halftime Man netted twice as PSV took advantage of a frenzied atmosphere at the Philips Stadion to advance to four points from three games, one more than the Serie A champions.

Lorenzo Lucca was sent off 14 minutes from time for dissent to add to the visitors’ woes, although McTominay scored their second five minutes from time from a corner.

But straight from the restart Couhaib Driouech set up substitute Ricardo Pepi to score with his first kick of the game and within a minute Driouech got one himself with a thumping strike at the end of a series of swift one-touch passes
