Lewandowski brace steers Barcelona back on track after Clasico defeat

BARCELONA: Robert Lewandowski put in yet another sensational performance to take Barcelona back on the winning track in LaLiga after El Clasico loss on Sunday as they cruised past Villareal 3-0, here at Camp Nou on Thursday.

With the resounding win, second-placed Barcelona are now three points behind table-topers Real Madrid who defeated Elche on Wednesday and surged to 28 points.

Barcelona scored thrice in seven minutes to outclass opponents in the first half as Lewandowski scored a brace before Ansu Fati added another goal.

The Poland striker hit home from inside the area for the first time in the 31st minute and doubled the lead four minutes later with a precise curling shot from the edge of the box.

Fati increased the lead three minutes later with a close-range shot which hit the goal post first.

The action-filled matches of LaLiga 2022-23 are being telecasted live on Pakistan’s first HD Sports channel – A Sports and is simultaneously streamed on the digital platform of ARY Digital Network – ARY ZAP in crystal clear HD quality.
