Deportivo Alaves v Barcelona | Post Match | La Liga EA Sports Matchday 9

Nothing surprising about the result today as Barcelona secure a 3-0 win to go three points clear at the top of the LaLiga table. They stamped their authority on this game very early, with Lewandowski securing a hat-trick inside the first half and scoring his 10th league goal of the season in the process. Another in-form Barcelona player, Raphinha, was at the heart of the visitors' dominating performance, providing two assists and creating many more chances. Alaves could have easily had a goal or two, with a couple of their efforts being disallowed for offside and another one denied by the post. However, they ended up with only two shots on target throughout the match to Barcelona's nine. The Blaugrana also finished with a much superior xG of 2.49 to Alaves' 0.69. Flick will be thrilled with a clean sheet, particularly in the wake of a 2-4 loss last weekend. The table-toppers play Sevilla at home after the upcoming international break, while Alaves, now in 12th place, host Real Valladolid next. Thank you for joining us and see you next time!
