Lewandowski extends scoring streak as Barca rout Sevilla
Braces from Robert Lewandowski and Pablo Torres, as well as a goal from Pedri, earn Barcelona three points as they cruise past Sevilla 5-1 in the La Liga.
Lewandowski’s brace took his tally for the season to an outstanding 12, while Pedri netted a beauty in between. The goals looked to have dried up in the second half. But young Torre had different ideas. Two late goals from him and that was a total return of five from a fantastic day at the office.
Things were a little slow to get started, but in the 24th minutes Lewandowski opened the scoring from the penalty spot. Former La Masia man Peque clumsily brought Raphinha to the ground and the Pole coolly converted the kick.
Sevilla had started brightly, but once they were off the mark, Barca were utterly in command. By half-time it was already 3-0 and the three points were as good as won.
Goal number two came off a blistering counter attack spearheaded by Lamine Yamal, who set things up perfectly for Pedri to curl in the most exquisite of finishes.
