UCL: Ferran Torres scores as Barcelona edge out Shakhtar Donetsk

Barcelona's Ferran Torres scored one goal and assisted another as his side held off Shakhtar Donetsk to maintain their perfect Group H record in the Champions League.

Torres opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a rebounded effort after Fermin Lopez hit the post.

The ex-Manchester City forward then set up Lopez for Barca's second eight minutes later.

Heorhii Sudakov scored a second-half consolation goal but the hosts held on.

The five-time winners, who last lifted the trophy in 2015, are top of their group with nine points, while Shakhtar stay third, six points behind the La Liga champions.

In Group H's other fixture, Porto thrashed Royal Antwerp 4-1 with forward Evanilson scoring a hat-trick for the visitors.
