Champions League round-up: West Ham flop Sebastien Haller sets new tournament record with nine goals in first five games after netting brace in Ajax's comeback win at Besiktas, while Edin Dzeko scores twice to put Inter Milan on brink of last-16

Sebastien Haller continued his Champions League scoring spree with two second-half goals as Ajax Amsterdam came from behind to beat Besiktas 2-1 on Wednesday and clinch top spot in Group C.

The 27-year-old came off the bench at the start of the second half and netted goals in the 54th and 69th minutes as Ajax overturned a halftime deficit to keep up their 100% run in the group.

The former West Ham striker became the first player to score nine goals in his first five games in the competition, beating the previous best of eight goals by Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland.
