  "account": "Lamine Yamal netted twice as Barcelona secured a 4-2 LaLiga win over Levante in Valencia on Sunday. Xavi Espart and Karim Adeyemi also scored for the reigning champions, who have remained unbeaten in the league so far. Barcelona took the lead in the fifth minute with a slick one-touch move, as 19-year-old Espart put the ball past Levante's goalkeeper from a slight deflection. The home side dominated possession throughout the match and extended their lead in the 19th minute when Raphinha controlled a through ball from Fermin Lopez and calmly scored in the box. Levante fought back in the second half, with Gerard Martin being substituted at halftime due to a limping injury and later replaced by Andreas Christensen. Barcelona's Aissa Mandi was sent off for a foul on Lamine, allowing Mandi to convert a penalty and score his third double in three LaLiga games. Despite their efforts, Levante could only manage one more goal through Ivan Romero in the 79th minute, and Roger Brugue equalized in the 93rd minute, bringing the match to a close with Barcelona maintaining their perfect start to the season.",
