🚨 Barcelona restore LaLiga advantage after comfortable Alavés win | OneFootball

Barcelona consolidated their lead at LaLiga’s summit with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Alavés

Scorers: Lewandowski 7′, 22′, 32′

Robert Lewandowski continued his impressive goal scoring streak by breaking the deadlock in the seventh minute with a pinpoint header from Raphinha’s free kick.

The Polish striker doubled his tally just 15 minutes later as the pair combined again, this time rolling the ball home from a cutback from the winger in the area.

He claimed a hat-trick shortly after the half-hour at Mendizorrotza with a rolled finish from the righthand side of the box after being teed up by Eric García.

Their hosts appeared to have snatched a reducer on the stroke of half-time through Toni Martínez but a VAR intervention for offside spared the Blaugrana’s blushes.

The Babazorros continued to cause Iñaki Peña problems after the interval and saw another goal disallowed late on in identical fashion through Santiago Mouriño.

Hansi Flick’s side head into the international break with a three-point cushion over defending champions Real Madrid ahead of their showdown on 26 October.
