Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 21:02 · Archive

Lamine Yamal scored and assisted as Barcelona beat Real Betis 5-2 to maintain their perfect La Liga start.

Lamine Yamal stood out for Barcelona in a bad-tempered 5-2 win at Real Betis on Saturday that maintained the visitors' perfect start to La Liga. The 19-year-old Ballon d'Or contender scored the opening goal in the 10th minute with a striking finish, eluding Facundo Bernal by rolling his foot over the ball just outside the penalty area before sending it sailing inside the far post. He later set up Gabriel Jesus for Barcelona's third goal.

Valentín Gómez headed Betis' first reply, Rodri restored Barcelona's lead, and Giovani Lo Celso had an equalizer ruled out through VAR before the break. Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini was booked for his protests. After the interval, Abde Ezzalzouli replied for Betis two minutes after Jesus's goal.

Yamal was booked after clashing with Bernal off the ball. Bernal moved his head toward Yamal, who dropped to the ground and was shown a yellow card, while Bernal was sent off. Barcelona now prepare for a Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain, while PSG beat Strasbourg 3-1 in the French league with Ousmane Dembélé scoring after missing a penalty.
