Guirassy scores twice as Dortmund cruise past 10-man Villarreal
Serhou Guirassy scored twice as Borussia Dortmund beat 10-man Villarreal 4-0 at home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Dortmund's first win in all competitions since October, took the 2024 Champions League finalists to fourth in the table with five games played.
Last season's joint top Champions League goalscorer, Guirassy had found the net just once in his past nine matches, but headed Dortmund in front seconds before halftime.
Villarreal captain Juan Foyth was sent off early in the second period when a VAR review found he handballed a goalbound shot from Karim Adeyemi.
Guirassy's penalty was well saved by Villarreal goalie Luiz Junior but the Guinean tapped in the rebound to double Dortmund's lead.
Adeyemi got on the scoresheet just before the half hour mark when he pressured former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey into a rushed clearance, which bounced in off the German's leg.
Fabio Silva hit a late penalty against the crossbar but Daniel Svensson headed in off Pascal Gross in stoppage time to add gloss to the victory.
The loss continued Villarreal's poor form in Europe this season, despite an impressive domestic campaign.
Villarreal have claimed just one point from five Champions League matches, but sit third in La Liga, three points behind leaders Real Madrid.
