Lamine Yamal’s first-half double helped Barcelona maintain their winning start to the LaLiga season with a 4-1 thrashing of Catalan rivals Girona.
The Spain teenager put the visitors in control and goals from Dani Olmo and Pedri after the break wrapped up a comfortable win before the closing stages saw Cristhian Stuani net a consolation for Girona and Barca’s Ferran Torres sent off.
Victory leaves Barca four points clear at the top of LaLiga with five wins from five and their attention now turns to Thursday’s Champions League opener against Monaco.
The win also saw Barca gain revenge for their two 4-2 defeats at the hands of surprise package Girona last season. Atletico Madrid remain in second after Conor Gallagher netted his first goal for his new side in their 3-0 victory over Valencia.
