Chelsea claimed a convincing 3-0 win at home to FC Barcelona in the fifth round of matches in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday to strengthen its claim for a top-eight finish in the league phase.

Enzo Fernandez had a sixth-minute effort ruled out for a prior handball for Chelsea, but the home side kept on pressing and was rewarded in the 27th minute, when Ferran Torres' clearance from Marc Cucurella's inswinging cross bounced back off Jules Kounde into the net.

Barcelona's night got worse just before halftime, when Ronald Araujo scythed down Cucurella and was sent off for a second yellow card.

Estevao doubled Chelsea's lead in the 53rd minute with a powerful shot into the roof of the net, and Liam Delap sealed the win with 20 minutes to go.

Elsewhere, fellow Premier League outfit Manchester City slipped to a 2-0 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Alex Grimaldo put Bayer ahead after 23 minutes against a much-changed City when he finished off a crisp counter-attack with a smart finish. Patrik Schick netted Leverkusen's second in the 54th minute.

Newcastle United took an early lead away to Marseille, seeing its high press rewarded after just six minutes when Anthony Gordon touched on a cross for Harvey Barnes to score, but two early second-half goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang turned things around for Marseille.

Aubameyang's first goal came just 18 seconds into the second half after Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope was caught a long way off his line.

Borussia Dortmund won 4-0 at home to a Villarreal side that remains winless in this season's tournament.

Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring in first-half injury time with a close-range header, before scoring again early in the second half, with goals from Karim Adeyemi and Daniel Svensson ending a miserable night for Villarreal.

Ole Didrik Blomberg flicked home a 27th-minute corner to give Bodo/Glimt the lead at home to Juventus, but goals from Lois Openda and Weston McKennie gave the Italian side the lead.

It looked as if Sondre Brunstad Fet's 87th-minute penalty would save a point for Bodo/Glimt, before Jonathan David decided a frantic game with a last-minute winner for Juventus.

Goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek made three excellent saves from Athletic Club forward Robert Navarro to save a point for Slavia Prague in a 0-0 draw, while Scott McTominay's goal and an own goal from Marko Jankovic saw Napoli win 2-0 at home to Qarabag.

Samuel Dahl's powerful shot from the edge of the area and Leandro Barreiro's excellent finish on the break saw Benfica win 2-0 away to Ajax, which has lost all five of its Champions League games this season.

Promise David's 57th-minute goal saw Union Saint-Gilloise edge Galatasaray 1-0.
