Barcelona beat Elche 3-0 with Robert Lewandowski scoring a brace

After a disappointing outing at the Allianz Arena against former team Bayern Munich, where Barcelona lost 2-0 in the Champions League group stage match, Robert Lewandowski made amends by bagging the win for Barcelona against a 10-man Elche, adding 2 goals to his incredible first month at Barcelona. 

Lewandowski scores

Lewandowski now has 8 goals in 5 consecutive games and 11 in total out of the 8 games he has played for Barcelona, after being transferred from Bayern Munich this summer. The win against Elche was easy after Barcelona manager and former player Xavi Hernandez lost his only game of the season, where Lewandowski missed some clear chances against the club he stayed in for 8 years, leading them to win cups. 

Barcelona currently sits at the top spot in the La Liga table, one point above defending champions Real Madrid who play against Atletico Madrid in what is called the Madrid derby, on Sunday. In third sit Athletic Bilbao, continuing their strong start under former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde with a 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano.

After his remarkable start with Barcelona, Robert now stakes claims for the Pichichi trophy, which is awarded to the highest goal scorer in a La Liga season.
