Barcelona beat visitors Girona 4-1 in the Catalan derby on Sunday after Robert Lewandowski netted twice in the second half to leave Hansi Flick’s side three points clear at the top of La Liga.
Barça took the lead two minutes before the break when Lamine Yamal’s free-kick was deflected in off the Girona defender Ladislav Krejci for an own goal but Girona struck back after the restart when Arnaut Danjuma equalised.
But Barcelona did not panic and Lewandowski restored their lead with an acrobatic finish just after the hour before the Polish striker made it 3-1 from a counterattack as La Liga’s top scorer netted his 25th goal of the season. Ferran Torres made it 4-1 late on as Barça took revenge for a 4-2 loss in the same fixture last season to move on to 66 points, three clear of second-placed Real Madrid after 29 games. Girona remain in 13th place.
Fiorentina’s Moise Kean scored an excellent first-half solo goal in a 1-0 home win against title-chasing Atalanta in Serie A, dealing another blow to the visitors’ Scudetto hopes. The Italy striker put Fiorentina up just before the break after a brilliant run and low shot past Marco Carnesecchi that squeezed inside a bottom corner. Atalanta, beaten 2-0 at home by Inter before the international break, remain third on 58 points.
