Barcelona maintained their flawless beginning to the season with a challenging 4-2 LaLiga win against Levante in Valencia on Sunday.
Levante found themselves two goals down after 19 minutes, as swift play from Barcelona resulted in goals from Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal. The home side then rallied, finishing the half with six shots to Barcelona's three.
Only 42 seconds into the second half, Lamine won and converted a penalty for Barcelona. The 19-year-old has achieved three doubles in his last three LaLiga matches.
An errant pass from Espart enabled Levante forward Ivan Romero to round goalkeeper Joan Garcia and slot the ball into the net with 12 minutes remaining.
With two minutes left, Roger Brugue broke through several Barcelona challenges to net a second goal for Levante.
In the 93rd minute, Karim Adeyemi dashed the home side's hopes of a draw with a dazzling run and finish.
Barcelona stands alone at the summit of the LaLiga table, boasting five victories from five matches, three points clear of Real Madrid.
