FC Barcelona continued their perfect start to the season in LaLiga with a 5-1 thrashing of Villarreal CF on Sunday evening.
Sergi Dominguez, Pablo Torre, Gerard Martin were given rare appearances by the Blaugrana who looked to continue their perfect start to the campaign with yet another victory.
Former Newcastle United striker Ayoze Perez could've broken the deadlock in the opening stages from a perfect through pass to the area, but he mistimed it.
Barca began to find space a little after the start with Lamine Yamal coming inside to play in Torre, but the midfielder couldn't make most of the situation.
This transcended ever further and with 20 minutes to play witnessed Robert Lewandowski broke in-behind to connect with Torre's through pass and fired in the bottom-corner.
Lewandowski bagged a brace ten minutes before the break through a fantastic overhead finish from in and around the six-yard area.
Villarreal got one back late on in the half as Perez managed to run in off a pass from Nicolas Pepe and coolly fired in the back of the net.
The Blaugrana were forced to a substitution when goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was stretchered after picking up an injury and replaced by Inaki Pena Sotorres.
In the second half, Barca maintained dominance and got further in front as Torre's snap shot took a wicked deflection and sneaked beyond the grasp of Diego Conde.
Barcelona got a penalty when Yamal succumbed in the area with a pitch-side review agreeing, but Lewandowski couldn't profit and bag a hat-trick after missing the subsequent penalty.
The Yellow Submarines continued chasing shadows late on and conceded again when Raphinha stepped in to the edge of the box to curl in a cutback.
Raphinha added a brace to complete a fine day's work five minutes to the end after he got in the box to volley in off the ground and over the reach of Conde.
Villarreal were well out of sight at this stage as the more fancied Blaugrana marched to yet another victory to continue their perfect start to the season.
