Welbeck scores first career hat-trick in Arsenal 4-1 over Galatasary, Benzema rescues Real Madrid in Bulgaria

Arsenal's new buy Danny Welbeck scored his first professional hat-trick, as Arsenal beat Galatasary 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Following a defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their opening game of the group last week, the Gunners were desperate for an impressive result.
Welbeck scored twice in the first half, either side of an excellent Alexis Sanchez finish, before adding a third in the second half. Goalkeeper Wojiech Szczensy was sent off with 30 minutes left and the Turkish side pulled one back from the spot-kick awarded.
Real Madrid came from behind to beat Bulgarian club Ludogorets 2-1 with goals from  Cristiano Ronaldo (penalty) and a Karim Benzema in the second half.
Marco Streller smashed in the only goal as Basle beat Liverpool 1-0 in Switzerland. Atletico Madrid needed an Arda Turan goal to get a win against Juventus, while Malmo stunned Olympiakos 2-0.
Adrian Ramos grabbed a brace, as Borussia Dortmund beat Anderlecht away 3-0, while Bayer Leverkusen won 3-1 at home to Benfica.
