Robert Lewandowski scored twice and assisted once on his 34th birthday, as Barcelona earned a well-deserved 4-1 win at Real Sociedad on Sunday.
It was Barcelona’s first win of the new LaLiga campaign, with Ansu Fati coming off the bench in the second half to take charge of the match with two assists and a goal.
Polish striker Lewandowski opened the scoring in the first minute of the game, his first LaLiga goal since moving from Bayern Munich. Five minutes later, Alexander Isak equalised after latching on to a pass from David Silva, to give the visitors some hope.
Barca struggled to break the deadlock until coach, Xavi Hernandez, sent on Raphinha and Ansu Fati in the 64th minute.
Ousmane Dembele scored in the 66th minute with Lewandowski adding his second two minutes later. It was then Ansu’s turn in the 79th minute to nab a goal and close out the game.
