Europa League roundup: Napoli, Rapid Vienna maintain perfect record

Sports Mole looks over all the early kickoffs from the Europa League.

Napoli have made it four wins out of four thanks to an emphatic 5-0 victory over FC Midtjylland in their Europa League Group D clash at the Stadio San Paolo.

Omar El Kaddouri's 13th-minute strike and Manolo Gabbiadini's brace had the Partenopei three goals up by the break, before Cristian Maggio and Jose Callejon weighed in with three more to destroy their Danish opponents.

In the group's other game, Club Brugge have given themselves hope of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament after a 1-0 win over Legia Warsaw, Thomas Meunier wrapping up the points with a 38th-minute goal.

In Group E, Rapid Vienna also secured a fourth win on the trot following a 2-1 victory at Viktoria Plzen, Philipp Schobesberger's brace either side of Jan Holenda's reply giving the Austrian side 12 points from four games.

Villarreal remain hot on their heels, however, after the Yellow Submarines came from behind to beat Dinamo Minsk 2-1 in Belarus, Roberto Soldado's brace putting them on nine points.

Celtic remain in deep trouble in Group A after succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at home against Molde, with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Daniel Hestad scoring to cancel out Kris Commons's 26th-minute equaliser.

The group, however, remains relatively open, as Ajax and Fenerbahce played out a goalless draw in Amsterdam to leave Ronny Deila's side just three points off second place with two games to go.

Group B has also been split wide open after Sion drew 1-1 with Bordeaux to leave Liverpool, who won 1-0 at Rubin Kazan, just two points off top spot.

In Group C, Borussia Dortmund continue to dominate proceedings after a 4-0 win against Qabala to top the group, while Krasnodar beat PAOK 2-1 to cement their hold on second place.

In other results, Qarabag FK and AS Monaco played out a 1-1 draw, the same result as that between Besiktas and Lokomotiv Moscow, while Slovan Liberec and Marseille won 1-0 against Groningen and Braga respectively.
