"Teenage star Lamine Yamal made up for missing an open goal with a trademark curler from outside the penalty area as Barcelona beat Mallorca 3-0 on Saturday to move four points ahead at the top of La Liga. Robert Lewandowski had put Barcelona ahead and 18-year-old homegrown player Marc Bernal scored his first career goal late on to seal a convincing win. Second-placed Real Madrid can close the gap to one point if it wins at Valencia on Sunday."
"Lewandowski pounced from close range in the 29th minute following good work down the left from Marcus Rashford. His shot was blocked and Lewandowski showed typically cool composure to control the ball and guide it past a defender before picking his spot. Rashford's form has improved throughout the season and he came close to scoring in first-half injury time when his curling free kick produced a brilliant save from Leo Román."
Barcelona beat Mallorca 3-0 to move four points clear at the top of La Liga. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 29th minute after pouncing from close range following Marcus Rashford's left-side play. Rashford nearly scored from a curling free kick saved by Leo Román. Jules Koundé's scuffed shot set up Lamine Yamal, who initially missed an almost open goal but later produced a trademark curling strike into the bottom corner. Yamal and Lewandowski were substituted and both applauded when 18-year-old Marc Bernal scored his first career goal in the 83rd minute.
