Are Barcelona the favourites for the LaLiga title?
Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens discuss how good Barcelona and Lamine Yamal are after their 4-1 win over Girona.
GIRONA, Spain -- Barcelona's Lamine Yamal struck twice in the first half to help deliver a commanding 4-1 win at Girona on Sunday that extended their perfect start to the season with a fifth consecutive win.
Yamal gave Barça a two-goal lead with strikes in the 30th and 37th minutes while Dani Olmo extended their advantage right after the break with a first-time effort from close range.
Pedri scored the fourth with a tap-in in the 64th minute while Girona substitute Cristhian Stuani netted a consolation goal in the 80th, six minutes before Barca were reduced to 10 men when forward Ferran Torres was given a straight red card for a nasty studs-up challenge on Yaser Asprilla.
Barça are top of LaLiga with 15 points, four ahead Real Madrid and Villarreal. Girona are seventh on seven points.
