CL ROUND-UP

Paulo Dybala saves Juventus with stunning double against Lokomotiv Moscow, as Toni Kroos gives Real Madrid nervy win

PAULO DYBALA’S late double saved Juventus from embarrassment as they edged past minnows Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1.

Against the run of play the Old Lady were behind on 30 minutes, Aleksey Miranchuk smashing home a volley.

Dybala and Kroos were the heroes for their teams in a night of riveting Champions League action

It took until the 77th minute for the Italians to draw level, with Dybala curling in the top corner.

And the Argentine won it just two minutes later, firing into the corner after latching onto Alex Sandro’s parried pile-driver.

In the same Group D, Chelsea flop Alvaro Morata struck in the early kick-off to see Atletico Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0.

The Spaniard came off the bench to settle it with a header.

LEW BEAUTY

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in Bayern Munich’s 3-2 win at Olympiakos in Group B to take his season’s tally to an incredible 21.

Bayern went behind to Youseff El Aribi’s header but red hot Lewandowski soon equalised.

And the Pole headed home his second to take his Champions League tally to 58 — surpassing Ruud Van Nistelrooy (56) in fifth place in the all-time leading scorers.

Corentin Tolisso got the other to leave Bayern five points ahead of second-placed Tottenham.
