Como thrash Lens 9-1 for record Champions League away win
Anastasios Douvikas scored a hat-trick as Como beat Lens 9-1 on match day four, the biggest away win in Champions League history.
Como recorded the largest away victory in Champions League history on match day four, defeating Lens 9-1. The result stands out both for its margin and for coming on the road in the competition's league phase.
Anastasios Douvikas was the match's leading scorer with a hat-trick. Beyond that individual feat, the supplied match report does not detail the other goalscorers, the sequence of the goals or any statistics from the game.
The fixture was labelled a Champions League match report, placing the result within the competition's current format. No further context on either club's position, form or previous results was provided in the available material.
Reaction was limited in the source: the report was restricted to UK users, and no manager comments or player interviews were available. Supporters' views were therefore not represented.
The headline figure is the record itself. The previous benchmark for the biggest away win in Champions League history was not identified in the article, so the new mark can be stated as a fact without a comparison being drawn here.
