Barca hit 5 past Villarreal, stay perfect in LaLiga
Written by I Dig SportsForwards Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha both scored twice to help Barcelona thrash hosts Villarreal 5-1 on Sunday as the visitors maintained their perfect start in LaLiga with a sixth consecutive victory.
Lewandowski found the net twice inside 35 minutes before Villarreal pulled a quick one back through Ayoze Perez but Pablo Torre made it 3-1 after the break and Raphinha completed the rout for Barca with two goals late in the second half, the second on the end of a wonderful long cross from Lamine Yamal.
Barcelona lost goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen just before half-time after the German keeper fell and was visibly in pain as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Barcelona remain top of the standings on 18 points as they preserved a four-point lead over defending champions Real Madrid in second.
