"But Barca came out brighter after the break and took just six minutes to break the deadlock; David Carmo was caught playing out from the back, and Olmo drilled his low shot into the bottom-left corner. And another lapse gifted Barcelona their second. David Costas, high in his own half, played a very slack backpass which Raphinha pounced onto before chipping Escandell, who was well off his line."
"After a loss to Real Sociedad last weekend, Real Madrid had piled the pressure on the reigning champions after leapfrogging them to the summit. And Barcelona were well-deserving of their win, having accumulated 2.41 expected goals (xG) from their 15 shots, while limiting Oviedo to just 0.42 xG. It was the 10th consecutive win at home for Barca, with this the first time they have recorded 10 or more home wins under the same manager in LaLiga since December 2019 (W14 under Ernesto Valverde)."
Barcelona beat Real Oviedo 3-0 at Camp Nou as Lamine Yamal's overhead kick sealed the win. Dani Olmo opened the scoring after six minutes of the second half following a David Carmo error. Raphinha added a second after capitalising on a slack backpass from David Costas. Barcelona created 2.41 expected goals from 15 shots while limiting Oviedo to 0.42 xG. Joan Garcia and Aaron Escandell made early saves to keep the score goalless at halftime. The victory returned Barcelona to the top of LaLiga and extended their home winning run to ten consecutive matches.
