"Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick helped Barcelona earn a thrilling 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo and pull within three points of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga. After watching their title rivals draw 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano earlier on Sunday, Hansi Flick's side took their opportunity to close the gap at the summit, though they were pushed hard by Celta and ended the game with 10 players after Frenkie de Jong was sent off four minutes into second-half stoppage time."
"Marcus Rashford fired against the woodwork as Barca got back on top, and their lead was restored when the Manchester United loanee supplied a pinpoint cross for Lewandowski to tuck home in the 37th minute. Celta again got back on terms quickly via a powerful finish from Iglesias, but Barca went into half-time 3-2 up, with Ionut Radu failing to keep Lamine Yamal's strike out despite getting two hands to the ball at his near post."
