European Round-Up: Bournemouth equal historic record as Lens suffer Champions League humiliation

European Round-Up: High-flying Bournemouth have matched a historic club record with an eight-match winning streak in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Real Betis and Villarreal make strides in La Liga as Lens plunge deeper into crisis following a humiliating Champions League defeat.

Premier League: Bournemouth match historic record

Bournemouth secured a superb 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town under the guidance of manager Marco Rose.

Striker Evanilson shone with the opening goal, marking his fifth consecutive Premier League match on the scoresheet to reach 7 goals for the season.

The victory sees Bournemouth equal their historic club record of 8 consecutive wins, set during the 2012-2013 campaign.

La Liga: Real Betis and Villarreal make solid strides

Real Betis defeated Elche 2-0 thanks to late strikes from Rodrigo Riquelme in the 81st minute and Marc Bartra in the 89th.

The win cements Real Betis in fourth place in the standings with 26 points from 12 matches.

Meanwhile, Villarreal also took maximum points against Getafe in a 2-0 win, courtesy of Tajon Buchanan in the 80th minute and Carlos Romero in the 90+1st.

Champions League: Lens plunge deeper into crisis

Lens plunged deeper into crisis after a humiliating 1-9 home defeat at the hands of Como in the Champions League.

The French side then suffered a 1-2 defeat to Marseille in Ligue 1, marking their third consecutive loss in all competitions.

The Lens defence has looked incredibly fragile, conceding a total of 11 goals in the space of just 4 days.

Despite the return of centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo, who played the full 90 minutes, he was unable to prevent his side's dismal run of form.
