Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scores as Barcelona return to winning ways

 

Emerick Aubameyang scored an 11th-minute goal to ensure that Barcelona returned to winning ways in the La Liga and also, at the same time, maintain their unbeaten run away from home in the La Liga, making it thirteen matches unbeaten.

In the same match, Sergio Busquets moved in on Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi’s record of appearances on the all-time list.

In the 33-year-old’s 675th match for the club, Gabonese Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 11th minute, and it was all Xavi’s men needed to secure all three points on the night.

The Blaugrana moved fifteen points behind Real Madrid, albeit they have a game in hand. With five more rounds of games left, Real Madrid needs just four points in total to secure the La Liga title.

Busquets has won 30 trophies for the club while also getting over 130 appearances for the Spanish national team.

Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 3-1 on Wednesday, with Karim Benzema missing two penalties in the victory.

Meanwhile, in other matches on Thursday, Sergio Guardiola scored before halftime to secure a win for Rayo Vallecano away at Espanyol.

It was Rayo’s first win in 13 matches after drawing four and losing eight, while Espanyol has now lost a second consecutive game after the weekend’s 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Jesus Corona scored a first-half brace while Jules Kunde added one in the second half as Sevilla beat Levante 3-2.

Athletic Bilbao also got a 3-2 win against Cadiz even with ten men in a game where they missed a first-half penalty; Inaki Williams also saw a late first-half goal disallowed.

Raul Garcia, Iker Munian, and Mikel Vesga all scored in the first half, while Lucas Perez and Ruben Sobrino got the two goals for Cadiz.
