Barcelona brush Valencia aside to maintain perfect start

Barcelona maintained their perfect start in the La Liga after fa five star performance away at Valencia.

The champions went on rampage on Sunday afternoon as they put five goals past the home side to remain on top of the league table.

Valencia came into the match seeking their first win of the season but the Catalan giants added more to their misery in front of their home fans.

Lamine Yamal scored a brace again like he did against Rayo Vellecano last week to take his tally to four after three matches.

The Spanish winger put the visitors ahead six minutes into the match as he buried the ball into the back of the net from Fermin’s pass.

Yamal thought he had doubled the lead three minutes later from another Fermin’s pass but his was ruled offside.

Fermin doubled the lead in the 22nd minute as he powered a shot into the bottom left corner off an Athony Gordon’s assist.

The one-sided first half ended with Barcelona orchestrating and dictating tempo with a comfortable 2 nil lead.

Barcelona continued their onslaught on their hosts in the second half as Raphinha and Pedri got on the scoresheet to round off five star performance from Hansi Flick’s men.

The host scarcely troubled Barcelona’s defense as the reigning champions cruises to a 5-0 win.

Barcelona took advantage of Real Madrid’s loss to Real Betis as they go three points clear of their rivals after four matches.
