The Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy scored once in each half to help steer the hosts to a 3-0 victory over Union Berlin on Sunday and notch their first Bundesliga win of the season. The 29-year-old has now netted in his seventh consecutive Bundesliga match, with only two players in Dortmund history having achieved a longer streak.
The Guinea international missed two golden chances early in the first half, including a one-on-one with the goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow. But it was third time lucky just before half-time when Yan Couto found the striker with a superb pass. Guirassy then scored his third goal in two league matches in the 58th minute after a one-two with Maximilian Beier and a smooth chip over Rønnow, before the substitute Felix Nmecha sealed the win.
Juventus scraped a 1-0 win away to Genoa in their Serie A clash, with Dusan Vlahovic coming off the bench to score for the second successive game. Vlahovic, who also scored in the opening-day victory over Parma, looked set to leave Juventus in the close season, with the club eager to sell the striker rather than lose him for free when his contract runs out next year. Yet for now the Serbia international is proving vital at this early stage of the campaign.
The game only sparked into life in the closing minutes of the first half when the Genoa goalkeeper Nicola Leali saved the home side, and a wasteful Jonathan David spurned a gilt-edged chance. The Juventus manager, Igor Tudor, turned to his bench after the break, and when Filip Kostic whipped in a corner in the 73rd minute, Vlahovic sent a thumping header past Leali to earn the visitors a scarcely deserved win. Torino earned their first point of the season, after a goalless draw with visitors Fiorentina.
In La Liga, Celta Vigo grabbed a last-gasp equaliser against Villarreal through Borja Iglesias. The Celta striker scored four minutes into stoppage time, cancelling out Nicolas Pépé’s goal from early in the second half.
