Borussia Dortmund had found it tough to do anything right the last few months, failing to win a league match since September 30th. The horrid run saw the firing of manager Peter Bosz, and the ousting of them from the UEFA Champions League. However, Dortmund finally halted their winless run on Tuesday defeating Mainz 2-0 away from home. A pair of second-half goals gave the visitors an important three points as well as confidence heading into some tough upcoming fixtures. Sokratis netted his third goal of the season, finishing smoothly in the 55th-minute following a set piece situation. Shinji Kagawa added the insurance for the winner with minutes remaining to double Dortmund’s advantage. Mainz was held to zero shots on goal, losing their third match out of their last four fixtures. Dortmund climbed to sixth with the win.

Elsewhere, Manchester City continued their domestic dominance in the EPL, while Manchester United held on for a win against Bournemouth. Bayern Munich claimed three points at home in Germany, while Fiorentina advanced in Coppa Italia play. Atalanta downed Genoa in the lone Serie A match of the week.

Here’s a closer look at all of Tuesday and Wednesday’s European action:

Manchester City set a new top-flight record on Wednesday, earning their 15th consecutive league win after defeating Swansea 4-0. Pep Guardiola’s men scored a pair of goals in each half to extend their lead to 11 points at the top of the league summit.

Swansea remains last in the league table suffering their 11th defeat of the season.

Manchester United bounced back from their derby loss last weekend by defeating Bournemouth 1-0 at Old Trafford.
