Table of Contents
Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg came from behind to beat 10-man FC Porto 3-1 and claim their first Champions League win of the season.
Porto took a 10th-minute lead when James RodrÃguez tapped in a cross from Hulk, but Zenit equalised 10 minutes later after Roman Shirokov's shot deflected into the goal off Jorge Fucile.
The game then turned in Zenit's favour when Fucile was sent off just before half-time after a foolish handball earned him a second booking.
Shirokov put the Russians ahead for good in the 63rd from a powerful left-footed shot before Danny sealed a comfortable win for Zenit with 18 minutes remaining.
