"Marcus Rashford almost opened the scoring from the edge of the box, but his shot was tipped over by Sociedad goalkeeper Álex Remiro. Remiro also comfortably dealt with long-range efforts from Ronald Araújo and Roony Bardghji. He was beaten by Lewandowski after the Poland striker was cleverly played through by Rashford, but his chip bounced wide from a tight angle."
"Lamine Yamal, named the best young player in Europe last week, paraded his trophy before the match and came on as a substitute just before the hour. And within seconds the 18-year-old helped put Barça ahead, racing into the box before sitting a perfect cross up for Lewandowski to head home. Lewandowski almost had a second but volleyed straight at Remiro, who then did well to keep out an awkward, bouncing drive from Rashford and a long-range effort from Dani Olmo."
Barcelona recovered from a first-half deficit to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 and move one point clear atop LaLiga. Real Sociedad took the lead when Ander Barrenetxea set up Alvaro Odriozola just after the half-hour. Jules Koundé headed Marcus Rashford's corner to level just before half-time. Lamine Yamal entered shortly after the hour and quickly created the winner, setting up Robert Lewandowski to head home. Álex Remiro made several notable saves to keep Sociedad competitive, while Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, produced strong attacking work and chances throughout. Barcelona have six wins in seven league matches.
