"Marcus Rashford helped Barcelona bounce back from their El Clasico defeat as they beat Elche 3-1. The England international scored his side's third after two goals in three first-half minutes from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres gave Barca an early advantage. Rashford is continuing to thrive in Spain, scoring his fifth goal since joining on loan from Manchester United."
"Barça hit the front after just nine minutes as Yamal bagged his first LaLiga goal since August. David Affengruber's pass went straight to Alejandro Balde who advanced down the left before picking out Yamal and he composed himself before firing into the corner. It was 2-0 just three minutes later as Ferran doubled the lead from close range."
"Rashford had the ball in the back of the net seven minutes after the restart, but the England international was ruled offside and it stayed 2-1. And three minutes later it was so close to being 2-2 as Mir clipped the top of the crossbar with a curling effort. Rashford was not denied for long as he made it three on the hour."
Barcelona defeated Elche 3-1, with Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres scoring twice in a three-minute first-half burst and Marcus Rashford adding a second-half goal. Yamal scored his first LaLiga goal since August after Alejandro Balde's advance on the left, and Ferran doubled the lead following an Elche mistake. Rafa Mir pulled one back before halftime and struck the woodwork twice in the second half. Rashford's strike was his fifth since arriving on loan from Manchester United. The victory reduced Barcelona's deficit to Real Madrid to five points after 11 league matches.
