Paris Saint-Germain set up a potential Champions League Group A decider against Arsenal next month after the French side beat Basle 3-0 to stay level with the Gunners on seven points.

Angel Di Maria gave the hosts the lead and Lucas Moura added a second before Edison Cavani wrapped up victory with a last-minute penalty.

Yannick Carrasco scored the only goal of the game as Atletico Madrid maintained their 100 per cent record in Group D with a 1-0 win at Rostov.

In-form Carrasco's 62nd-minute volley from a Juanfran cross proved enough to give Atletico the points in a game they largely dominated with Fernando Torres missing a number of fine chances.

Also in Group D, Bayern Munich won for the first time in four games as Thomas Muller's 13th-minute effort set up a comfortable 4-1 triumph over PSV Eindhoven.

Joshua Kimmich nodded home his side's second on 21 minutes and despite Luciano Narsingh temporarily reducing the deficit, second-half strikes from Robert Lewandowski and Arjen Robben relieved some of the pressure on boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Group B leaders Napoli saw their unbeaten record brought to an end as two Vincent Aboubakar goals helped Besiktas to a surprise 3-2 win in Italy.

Adriano Correia opened the scoring for the visitors and despite an equaliser from Dries Mertens, Aboubakar's opening effort gave the Turkish side the half-time lead.

Napoli equalised for a second time through Manolo Gabbiadini's penalty but Aboubakar's header four minutes from time sent the Turkish side up to second.

Meanwhile, the pressure continued to mount on Dynamo Kiev boss Sergei Rebrov after Eduardo Salvio's early penalty and a second-half effort from Franco Cervi gave Benfica a 2-0 win in Ukraine.
