Yamal double helps Barca beat Levante, Atletico triumph
VALENCIA: Lamine Yamal struck twice to help Barcelona to an exciting 4-2 win at Levante on Sunday in La Liga, extending the Catalans’ perfect start to the season.
Lamine Yamal netted twice in Barcelona's 4-2 win over Levante, extending the Catalan club's perfect start to La Liga. The victory widened the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the table, which Real Madrid had established earlier with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano. Atletico Madrid secured a 3-0 win against Real Sociedad with three late goals, moving into joint-third place in the standings.
Xavi Espart opened the scoring for Barcelona, with Yamal adding a second goal just before halftime. The win was far from flawless, as Levante managed to score two goals late in the game, but Barcelona's Karim Adeyemi sealed the victory with a late goal. Atletico Madrid also defeated Real Sociedad, with Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David scoring in the final minutes of stoppage time.
