Karl MatchettJan 5, 2014

Barcelona moved back to the top of La Liga with a comfortable 4-0 win over Elche on Sunday.

Alexis Sanchez and Pedro scored the first-half goals, with the away side hitting the post through Richmond Boakye in their only real chance of the half. After the break, Xavi missed a penalty for Barcelona but Alexis scored twice more to complete his hat-trick and round off the win.

Friday's World Cup Picks ๐Ÿ”ฎ

First half:

Valdesโ€”has had nothing to do beyond the Boakye shot

Montoyaโ€”not really involved in too much in the final third yet, needs to offer better runs out wide

Bartraโ€”solid enough, barely tested

Piqueโ€”same as Bartra, recycling possession

Albaโ€”Barca's big out ball down the left, great constant pace

Songโ€”quickly snuffing out any threat when Elche try to move forward

Xaviโ€”having lots of time to spray his passes around and open up the Elche defence with through balls

Iniestaโ€”embarked on a few winding runs but lacking end product at the moment

Pedroโ€”took his goal well, might have had another. Superb movement

Cescโ€”involved heavily in link-up play but not much in the box

Alexisโ€”making some good runs but could have had two or three if not for offside calls against him

Second half:

Valdesโ€”a quiet return to the team

Montoyaโ€”much the same, not overly involved going forward, solid in the middle third

Bartraโ€”an easy afternoon for both centre-backs

Piqueโ€”a few nice through-balls

Albaโ€”silly yellow card for a needless challenge but always a threat on the left

Songโ€”good game, nice retention of the ball

Xaviโ€”poor penalty miss and subbed early

Iniestaโ€”inventive and bright but just missing the final pass today

Pedroโ€”great movement and a threat all game, should have scored more

Cescโ€”a little frustrated not to get more chances but he contributed well

Alexisโ€”great hat-trick and took his goals well
