Yamal, Lewandowski and Bernal fire Barcelona to crush Mallorca

Barcelona strengthened their grip at the top of La Liga after a commanding 3-0 victory over Mallorca at the Nou Camp on Saturday.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring after Marcus Rashford’s effort was blocked and deflected off Dani Olmo, allowing the Polish striker to finish from close range.

Lamine Yamal doubled the lead just after the hour mark, striking from 25 yards into the right corner to register his third goal in six matches against Mallorca.

Marc Bernal, also 18, completed the scoring following a rapid counter-attack, slotting the ball into the net for his first goal for the club, aided by a deflection.

Mallorca’s Jan Virgili troubled Barcelona defender Jules Kounde in the first half, but the visitors were unable to convert their chances. The second half saw Barcelona dominate, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback for the visitors.

With the win, Barcelona moved four points clear at the top of the La Liga table.
