Robert Lewandowski scored a brace as Barcelona cruised to a 4-1 victory at Real Sociedad, their first win of the La Liga season.

Robert Lewandowski bagged the opener just 44 seconds into the match as the birthday boy looked to lead that rebound, but on the whole it looked awkward through the first 45 minutes.Barcelona appeared disjointed in a number of areas, displaying key deficiencies that Real Sociedad took advantage of and responded just minutes later via Alexander Isak to level the score.

Barca were being held until the moment Ansu Fati came off the bench, his brilliant back-heel set up Ousmane Dembele to score to regain the lead.
Pedri then picked out Fati with a stunning pass and the youngster then rolled a first-time ball into Lewandowski for him to finish a chance that is easy for a player of his quality.

Barcelona then added gloss to the result as Lewandowski returned the favour setting up Fati for goal number four.
