Che Adams got both goals as Torino ended their run of draws with a 2-0 home win over Cagliari.

The Scotland forward produced finishes early on and just past the hour mark at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to help Paolo Vanoli’s side to a first victory in six Serie A outings, the last four of which had all been drawn.

Osasuna were dramatically denied what would have been their first win in nine LaLiga matches as a last-gasp Adnan Januzaj effort saw them held 1-1 at 10-man Las Palmas.

The visitors led via Aimar Oroz’s 53rd-minute goal and the home side saw Dario Essugo sent off in the 72nd minute, only to then claim a point thanks to former Manchester United winger Januzaj’s low free-kick in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

In the Bundesliga, strugglers Holstein Kiel earned a 2-2 draw at Wolfsburg courtesy of an 80th-minute equaliser from Steven Skrzybski.

The Storks had led early on through David Zec before Wolfsburg hit back with goals in quick succession shortly after the break from Patrick Wimmer and Jonas Wind.

Auxerre are winless in seven games in Ligue 1 after being held 1-1 at home by St Etienne, who move up from 16th to 14th.
