MOSCOW (Reuters) - VfL Wolfsburg surged to the top of Group B in the Champions League as substitute Andre Schurrle's heroics saw them beat CSKA Moscow 2-0 at the Arena Khimki and put them in pole position for a place in the knockout stages.

CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev made a terrible blunder, somehow parrying Schurrle's shot from an acute angle over his own line in the 67th minute, before the winger finished the job with Wolfsburg's second two minutes from time.
