FC Barcelona secured a 5-2 victory over Real Betis in a lively La Liga encounter at the Estadio de la Cartuja.
Lamine Yamal gave the visitors an early lead with a stunning long-range effort in the 10th minute.
Valentín Gómez levelled the score with a headed goal from a corner, but Rodri put Barcelona back in front with another header shortly before the interval.
Early in the second half, Gabriel Jesus extended the advantage to 3-1, only for Abde Ezzalzouli to quickly reduce the deficit.
Eric García then made the result safe with a close-range finish from a set-piece situation.
Real Betis were reduced to ten men following a red card as Barcelona continued their flawless start to the campaign.
Here are the Barcelona player ratings:
Joan Garcia (6.5/10)
Solid enough with a couple of routine saves, but could do little about the goals conceded.
Distribution was clean and helped build from the back.
Jules Koundé (6.5/10)
Assisted the opener with a good link-up but looked shaky at times defensively.
Contributed going forward yet was beaten on the equaliser.
Pau Cubarsí (7.5/10)
Composed at the heart of defence and provided the assist for the fourth goal.
Won most of his duels and passed accurately under pressure.
Gerard Martín (6/10)
Struggled to contain the wide threat and was substituted at half-time.
Limited impact both defensively and in possession.
Xavi Espart (6.5/10)
Busy on the left flank with overlapping runs, but defensive positioning was occasionally exposed.
Rodri (8/10)
Scored a powerful header from a corner to restore the lead and controlled the midfield tempo.
Strong in both phases of play.
Pedri (7.5/10)
Dictated play with intelligent passing and recovery work.
Kept Barcelona organised and linked defence to attack smoothly.
Lamine Yamal (9/10)
Opened the scoring with a sensational long-range strike and provided the assist for Jesus.
Constantly dangerous and creative.
Fermín López (7/10)
Assisted Rodri’s goal from a corner and pressed energetically.
Involved in most attacking moves before being replaced.
Karim Adeyemi (6/10)
Showed pace on the wing but lacked end product and final-ball quality.
Substituted after a quiet display.
Gabriel Jesus (7.5/10)
Scored the third goal with a clinical finish and held the ball up well.
Linked effectively with the wide players.
