Barcelona record strong win against 10-man Elche

Relegation-bound Elche could do next to nothing when they faced Catalan giants Barcelona on Saturday. In a dominant performance that saw Elche go down to 10 players and have their manager sent off, the Blaugrana got the result that was expected of them. Polish striker Robert Lewandowski was expected to have a say in proceedings, and he matched those expectations, bagging a brace to boot. The Catalans controlled the game from the very beginning and Elche got in trouble when they went down to 10 men in the 14th minute. Gonzalo Verdu was sent off for impeding a clear goal-scoring opportunity when he brought down Lewandowski. Barcelona ruthlessly exploited their numerical advantage as the Catalans took the lead 20 minutes after the sending off. It was young left-back Alejandro Balde who provided Lewandowski with the chance and the Polish striker did not miss the target. Balde turned provider again shortly after with his second assist of the first half. The left-back found Dutch forward Memphis Depay in front of goal, who in turn found the back of the net in spectacular fashion. Lewandowski grabbed his brace early in the second half with a fine strike in the 48th minute. However, the Catalans could not score again despite controlling the game right up to the final whistle. Now in the top spot of the La Liga table, they will hope that arch rivals Real Madrid lose against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
