Tresoldi treble stuns Inter, Bayern held as Barcelona rally

MADRID, Oct 13 : Nicolo Tresoldi's hat-trick powered Club Brugge to a stunning 4-3 Champions League victory at Inter Milan on a night of scares for Europe's heavyweights on Tuesday, with Bayern Munich held 3-3 at Viking Stavanger while Barcelona recovered to beat Galatasaray 4-1.

Bayern fought back from two goals down to lead in Norway but Michael Olise's dismissal left them exposed and Herman Johan Haugen struck in added time to earn Viking a point.

Barcelona proved more convincing in Istanbul, overturning a first-half deficit with Lamine Yamal supplying two assists, while Atletico Madrid won 2-0 against Manchester United, who had Leny Yoro sent off, and Arsenal scored three times in seven minutes to defeat Lille 3-0.

TRESOLDI PUNISHES INTER

Tresoldi, who had already hit the post, put Brugge ahead with a penalty on the half-hour mark after Hakan Calhanoglu fouled Carlos Forbs.

Lautaro Martinez equalised before halftime, holding off his marker and turning to finish after Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco combined down the left.

But a misunderstanding between Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez and his defence allowed Carlos Forbs to knock the ball through the keeper's legs, leaving Tresoldi to tap into an empty net and restore Brugge’s lead.

Tresoldi completed his hat-trick in the 74th minute before Martinez's second goal seven minutes later revived Inter's hopes.

Romeo Vermant made it 4-2 in the 87th minute, leaving Ange-Yoan Bonny's reply deep into added time as scant consolation for the home supporters.

BAYERN DENIED LATE

Gianni Stensness headed Viking ahead from a second-minute corner and the hosts doubled their advantage in the 38th with a sweeping counter-attack as Bayern pressed for an equaliser.

Harry Kane began the comeback
