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, upgrading his yellow card to red. 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 latched onto a Julian Brandt backheel.
