Barcelona got the job done at the Camp Nou on Tuesday, beating Leganes 2-0 to ensure they’ll end the round at the top of LaLiga Santander. With goals from Ansu Fati and Lionel Messi at either halves.
Fati has scored five goals from 10 shots on target in La Liga
Seventeen-year-old Ansu Fati scored his fifth La Liga goal of the season as Barcelona extended their lead at the top with victory over Leganes.
The Guinea-Bissau forward produced a clinical finish at an empty Nou Camp before Lionel Messi doubled the lead from the penalty spot.
Messi’s 699th goal for club and country came after the Argentina forward was fouled by Ruben Perez.
At 16 years and 298 days, Ansu Fati became the second-youngest first-team player in Barcelona history when he made his debut in a 5-2 win over Real Betis on 25 August.
Having moved to Spain at the age of six with his family, he has been with Barcelona’s youth academy since 2012.
Leganes are bottom of the table, three points from safety with nine games left.
