Valencia sack coach, CEO after poor La Liga start
VALENCIA: Valencia sacked coach Carlos Corberan and CEO Ron Gourlay on Sunday after a poor start to the Spanish season.
Lamine Yamal scored a brace in Barcelona's 4-2 victory over Levante, marking the Spanish La Liga champions' continued dominance at the start of the season. Barcelona took the lead in the fifth minute through Xavi Espart's goal from a Raphinha assist, their first ever goal for the club. Adebayo's early penalty after he was fouled, sent him off later, as Yamal doubled the lead with a quick counter-attack finish, becoming the first Barcelona player since Lionel Messi to score or assist in all five matches of a La Liga season.
Despite a spirited Levante comeback, Barcelona held on for a comfortable win, with Adeyemi scoring the decisive goal in added time to secure maximum points for the Catalans. The young Spanish defender has now scored or assisted in every single match, joining Messi as the only players in La Liga to achieve this feat. Barcelona's flawless start to the campaign, with a 100% record from their first five matches, sees them three points clear of second-placed arch-rivals Real Madrid.
