European football: Olmo double takes Barca top; Diaz fires up Bayern's late rally
"Barcelona recovered from an early setback to secure a 3-1 victory over Alaves, with first-half goals from Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo and a late second for the latter sealing the win at the Camp Nou. The win lifts the defending La Liga champions to the top of the standings on 34 points, two ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand at Girona on Sunday."
"Alaves stunned the hosts in the first minute when Pablo Ibanez struck from close range but Barca hit back seven minutes later, with Raphinha assisting Lamine Yamal to hit a powerful one-touch finish into the top corner to level the score. Raphinha was instrumental again in the 26th with another assist, this time for Olmo who expertly curled the ball home first-time from inside the box as the Blaugrana went ahead."
"The Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich needed stoppage-time goals from Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson to beat strugglers St Pauli 3-1, coming from behind for the second straight week and hitting the woodwork three times. Diaz headed in for a 2-1 lead early in stoppage time and Jackson slotted in their third goal as the hosts bounced back from their first defeat of the season across all competitions with Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Arsenal in the Champions League."
Barcelona overcame an early Pablo Ibanez goal to defeat Alaves 3-1 at the Camp Nou, with Raphinha assists setting up Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo in the first half.
