Barca extend perfect streak, Real Madrid survive Vinicius red
BARCELONA: Anthony Gordon scored his first goal for Barcelona as the Spanish champions extended their perfect start in La Liga with a 3-0 win over Getafe on Saturday.
Anthony Gordon made his first appearance for Barcelona and scored his first goal for the club in their perfect start in La Liga with a 3-0 victory over Getafe. Gabriel Jesus added another goal during the second half, while Jules Kounde rounded off the win with the third goal in the 77th minute. Barca, without their top scorer Raphinha who suffered a hamstring injury, came out firing under new manager Xavi Flick.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, survived a red card incident with Vinicius Junior, who was sent off for pulling hair during the match against Villarreal. Despite losing a man, the 19-year-old Brazilian scored the only goal of the game before being dismissed. Yan Diomande's goal kept Real Madrid third in the league standings, six points behind Barcelona.
