Anastasios Douvikas led the rout with a hat-trick as Como cruised to a 9-1 victory away at Lens, equalling the record for the most goals scored in a single Champions League game.

Only two teams had previously won a game by a margin of eight goals since the launch of the modern Champions League in 1992.
