La Liga: Barcelona thrash Real Sociedad

BERLIN: Robert Lewandowski opened his account for Barcelona after just 44 seconds in a 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad as part of a brace to celebrate his birthday. Aleksander Isak wasted no time in equalising for the hosts, who forced Marc Andre Ter Stegen into some fine saves and saw a second-half goal ruled out for offside, reports DPA. Ansu Fati provided the inspiration to end Barcelona's three-game streak without a win, coming off the bench to provide two assists in six minutes — Ousmane Dembele and Lewandowski the beneficiaries. Ansu Fati then added his name to the scoresheet after Lewandowski returned the favour, coolly slotting home to ensure all three points would come to Catalonia. (IANS)
