Barcelona Rout 10-man Real
Sociedad 4-0 to Go Top in LaLiga
Barcelona,
3 Mar (ONA) — Barcelona
cruised to a 4-0 rout over 10-man Real Sociedad to regain the lead in the Spanish
LaLiga.
Gerard
Martín, Marc Casadó, Ronald Araujo and Robert Lewandowski scored a goal each to
put Barcelona one point ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of
the Spanish league. Barcelona is three points ahead of third-placed Real
Madrid, which lost 2-1 at Real Betis on Saturday, when Atletico beat Athletic
Bilbao 1-0 at home, the Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.
Sociedad
played a man down from the 17th minute after Aritz Elustondo was sent off with
a straight red card for grabbing Barcelona forward Dani Olmo to stop a
breakaway.
It
was the sixth win in a row for Barcelona in the league, and the second loss in
three matches for Sociedad, which stayed in ninth place.
