Anthony Gordon scores first goal for Barcelona as leader equals best start in La Liga

England forward Anthony Gordon scored his first goal for Barcelona during a 3-0 victory over Getafe, marking the Spanish league leader's best start ever in La Liga on Saturday. The left winger dribbled past two defenders and hit a deflected shot past goalkeeper David Soria in the second minute. Gabriel Jesús, who joined Barcelona this summer, scored in the 29th minute after capitalizing on an unwise pass by Zaid Romero.

Gabriel Jesús had already scored twice as a substitute. Lamine Yamal sealed the win in the 73rd minute, setting up Jules Koundé to tap in. Barcelona's eighth-straight win tied its best start in La Liga since 2013-14, when Lionel Messi was at the peak of his powers. Hansi Flick's team now leads Real Madrid by nine points before their upcoming match against Villarreal.
