Dimitar Berbatov scored his first two goals for Manchester United in a 3-0 Champions League victory at Aalborg, and Real Madrid rode its luck in a 2-1 victory at Zenit St Petersburg.

Although Juventus came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at BATE Borisov, it fell two points behind Madrid. But Arsenal outplayed FC Porto 4-0 on Tuesday to jump above the Portuguese champion to the top of Group G.

Bayern Munich rallied for a 1-1 draw with Lyon to stay at the top of Group F by two points. Fiorentina and Steaua Bucharest drew 0-0.

After failing to score and win its first Group E game against Villarreal, defending champion Manchester United badly needed a victory at Aalborg.

Wayne Rooney ran onto a pass from Ryan Giggs to give United a 22nd-minute lead. Then Berbatov punished an appalling blunder by Aalborg captain Thomas Augustinussen, who played a backpass straight to him for an easy shot home.

Berbatov sent Cristiano Ronaldo's cross into the net for the third goal in the 80th.

Villarreal edged Celtic 1-0 to join United on four points in the group, the only goal coming from Marcos Senna's free kick in the 67th minute. Celtic and Aalborg have one points each.

Nine-time champion Real Madrid made it a maximum six points from two games by beating Zenit St. Petersburg, last season's UEFA Cup winner.

Madrid was fortunate to go ahead in the sixth minute when Tomas Hubocan sliced a cross into his own net.
