Anthony Gordon celebrates his goal with Barcelona team-mates

Anthony Gordon scored his first **Barcelona** goal as the champions eased to a 3-0 win over **Getafe** in La Liga on Saturday.

The England international struck after just 78 seconds before Gabriel Jesus and Jules Kounde also found the net in a comfortable victory for the leaders at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Third-placed **Real Madrid** held on for a 1-0 win over **Villarreal** despite the late dismissal of Vinicius Junior at the Bernabeu.

The Brazilian was dismissed for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair moments after he had sparked wild celebrations – which saw manager Jose Mouirnho run on to the pitch – by appearing to score a second goal.

Replays revealed his transgression in the build-up, but Real still had enough to win thanks to Yan Diomande’s first goal for the club after 62 minutes.

Real remain a point behind **Atletico Madrid**, who won 2-1 at 10-man **Alaves** after an 87th-minute Cristian Romero header.

The day’s other La Liga match between **Rayo Vallecano** and **Athletic Bilbao** was abandoned after home fans threw paper planes, plastic balls and other objects on to the pitch in a protest against the club’s owner.

In Germany, **Bayern Munich** conceded inside the opening nine seconds in a 2-2 draw at **Augsburg**.

Robin Fellhauer pounced on Manuel Neuer’s error straight after kick-off and Rodrigo Ribeiro was also on target, but goals from Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown, both set up by Harry Kane, ensured a point for the champions.

Serie A champions **Inter Milan** claimed a 3-0 win over **Parma** after goals from Petar Sucic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcus Thuram inside the opening 31 minutes.

Kevin De Bruyne scored twice as **Napoli** beat **Frosinone** by the same score.

French champions **Paris St Germain** were comfortable 3-1 winners over promoted **Le Mans** after goals from Lucas Beraldo, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Maghnes Akliouche.

**Monaco**, the Ligue 1 leaders, were held 2-2 by **Toulouse**.
