    Barcelona moved four points clear at the top of La Liga with a dominant 3-0 win at home against strugglers Mallorca.

    Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Marc Bernal struck for the leaders at the Nou Camp.

    Mallorca’s Jan Virgili caused problems for Barcelona defender Jules Kounde in the first half, getting the better of him on multiple occasions, but the visitors could not force a breakthrough.

    Instead, the attacking power of the hosts produced the opener when Marcus Rashford’s right-foot effort was blocked and rebounded off Dani Olmo, with the ball falling to Lewandowski who fired in from nine yards.

    Jagoba Arrasate’s visitors struggled in the second half and Lamine Yamal’s strike just after the hour mark more or less ended their hopes.

    The 18-year-old made space to strike from 25 yards and hit a terrific shot into the right corner for his third goal in six matches against Mallorca.

    Barca added salt to Mallorca’s wounds with a third from Bernal, another 18-year-old. After a rapid counter-attack, he darted into the penalty area and slotted in his first goal for the club, with the help of a deflection.
