Barça 5-2 Burela: Rounding off a great week

Andreu Plaza's team record their fourth win in a row in the domestic league

An excellent win to round off an excellent week after Andreu Plaza's team followed up their win in the Copa del Rey with a 5-2 win over Burela in the league, their fourth in a row in the competition, thanks to goals from Ximbinha, Joselito, Adolfo, Ferrao and Dídac. 

Great first half for Barça 

Barça started the game with intensity and Sergio Lozano came close to opening the scoring before being forced off with a hand injury. Barça's insistence paid off and Ximbinha rounded off an assist from Esquerdinha to put the blaugranes 1-0 up after 7 minutes. 

Daniel almost added a second before Joselito was able to double Barça's advantage. With Burela sacrificing their goalkeeper before the break, Adolfo made it 3-0 at half time. 

Rounding off the win

The first chances of the second half fell to the home side and Ferrao made it 4-0 on 29 minutes following an assist from Lozano. Burela reacted and got themselves back into the game with two quick goals, one from Renato and the other from Iago Míguez. 

Barça stirred themselves into action Lozano hit the post before Dídac grabbed a fifth to seal the win and record Barça's fourth win in the league to round off a perfect week.
