Euro round-up: Late Karim Benzema brace rescues Real Madrid as Paris Saint-Germain drop points

Karim Benzema scored twice late on as Real Madrid snatched a 3-1 win away to Espanyol.

Madrid had been in danger of dropping their first La Liga points of the season until Benzema finished from close range to put them back in front in the 88th minute.

That came after Espanyol's Joselu finished on the rebound two minutes before half-time to cancel out Vinicius Junior’s 12th minute opener.

But having retaken the lead, Madrid pressed home their advantage in a lengthy period of time added on.

Benjamin Lecomte was sent off after VAR upgraded his yellow for a foul on Dani Ceballos to a red, and as the clock reached the 10th minute of added time, Benzema’s free-kick made it 3-1.

Robert Lewandowski scored a second brace in Barcelona colours to help the Catalans to a 4-0 victory over Real Valladolid.

Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele both hit the post before Lewandowski turned in Raphinha’s cross in the 24th minute.

Pedri curled in a second before Lewandowski backheeled home his second in the 65th minute, and Sergi Roberto completed the win.

Getafe and Villarreal shared the points from a goalless draw.

Eintracht Frankfurt got their first Bundesliga win of the season with a 4-3 victory away to Wolfsburg.

Mario Gotze scored just two minutes in though Eintracht found themselves behind after Anthony Jung and Leonardo Bittencourt scored two in four minutes.

Randal Muani levelled and Jesper Lindstrom put Eintracht in front six minutes before the break.

Djibril Sow added a fourth three minutes into the second half and it proved vital as Niclas Fullkrug scored a late penalty for the hosts.

Cologne and Stuttgart played out a goalless draw in which Stuttgart’s Luca Pfeiffer saw red early in the second half.

Paris Saint-Germain dropped points for the first
