Barcelona extended their winning streak in La Liga to three games and are now in third place in the table for at least a couple of hours thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Elche on Sunday. The Blaugrana played well but missed huge chances and found themselves behind at the half, but came back strong in the second half and found the two winning goals from two substitutes. Elche proved to be as tough as advertised at home, but Barça showed their strength and deserved all three points.
FIRST HALF
Barcelona were the better team throughout the first half, dominating possession and doing a good job of moving it with pace in the final third while also finding other ways to create chances, like on the counter-attack.
