Wayne Rooney helped Manchester United to a nervy 2-0 win over Romania's Otelul Galati in the Champions League Tuesday, despite playing over 20 minutes with 10 men, while Real Madrid cruised to a 4-0 victory over Lyon. Rooney broke the deadlock when he fired home a penalty in the 64th minute, only for captain Nemanja Vidic to be sent off for a dangerous challenge on Gabriel Giurgiu two minutes later. Rooney secured United's first victory in Group C with another penalty in injury time. There were no such nerves for Madrid, which maintained its 100 percent record this season with goals from Karim Benzema, Sami Khedira, Mesut Oezil and Sergio Ramos. A last-minute strike from substitute Sergio Aguero saw Manchester City beat Villarreal 2-1, earning the Premier League leader its first victory in Group A. Bayern Munich dropped its first points in the group, as it was held to a 1-1 draw at Napoli. Inter Milan moved top of Group B, with a 1-0 win at Lille, Giampaolo Pazzini scoring the game's only goal in the 22nd minute. Earlier, CSKA Moscow beat Trabzonspor 3-0. Elsewhere, Dinamo Zagreb and Basel both lost 2-0 at home to Ajax and Benfica respectively, while CSKA Moscow beat Trabzonspor 3-0. In Romania, Rooney scored his first from the spot in the 64th minute after Sergiu Costin's handball and then repeated the feat in stoppage time after he was fouled by Liviu Antal. Otelul also finished with 10 men when Milan Perendija was sent off a minute from time for his second booking. United's first victory in the group lifts it to second place, two points behind Benfica after three games. Goals from Bruno Cesar and Oscar Cardozo kept the Portuguese club unbeaten this season and gave Basel interim coach Heiko Vogel a loss in his first home match. In Manchester, City came from behind to beat Villarreal in dramatic circumstances as Aguero met a cross from Argentine compatriot Pablo Zabaleta with a simple tap-in at the far post in the fourth minute of stoppage time to rescue the hosts. Cani had put Villarreal in front in the fourth minute at the Etihad Stadium after goalkeeper Joe Hart spilled Giuseppe Rossi's shot but City equalized through Carlos Marchena's own goal in the 43rd. City is now within a point of second-place Napoli, following the Serie A club's draw at home to four-time winner Bayern Munich. Ajax moves into second spot in the group after Derk Boerrigter and teenage forward Christian Eriksen scored their team's first goals in the competition to help it beat pointless – and goalless – Zagreb.
