Barca in crucial win
MADRID. — Neymar scored the opener to continue his rich vein of form as 10-man Barcelona won a one-sided Spanish La Liga soccer derby against Espanyol 2-0 on Saturday while Antoine Griezmann’s double helped Atletico Madrid beat Elche 3-0.
Brazil’s Neymar followed his two goals against Paris St Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday by slotting home after Luis Suarez dummied a cross after 17 minutes.
With Barca picking holes in Espanyol’s defence, Lionel Messi doubled the lead from a tight angle after 25 minutes before Jordi Alba was sent off early in the second half.
The defender was shown two yellow cards in succession after 53 minutes for a lengthy protest with the referee but Espanyol failed to apply any concerted pressure on Barca in the remainder of the match. — Soccernet.
