**_BARCELONA_**: Barcelona punished two defensive mistakes by bottom-of-the-table Real Oviedo to seal a 3-0 victory at a rain-drenched Camp Nou and regain top spot in LaLiga.
Goals from Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and an acrobatic Lamine Yamal strike powered the Catalans to 52 points, one ahead of Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid trail in third on 44.
Barca struggled to break the deadlock against a spirited Oviedo until they finally found the breakthrough in the 52nd minute, with Olmo striking home following a defensive lapse.
Five minutes later, Oviedo’s struggles deepened, with defender David Costas under-hitting a back pass, which Raphinha intercepted before calmly chipping the onrushing keeper Aaron Escandell to double Barcelona’s lead.
Yamal put the result beyond doubt in the 73rd minute with a moment of brilliance. Olmo’s perfectly weighted cross found the Spanish teenager at the far post, where he leapt to score with an exquisite scissor kick volley that nestled just inside the right post.
