Ilkay Gundogan played a starring role as Barcelona beat Alaves in La Liga.
Barca went in front when Robert Lewandowski latched on to Gundogan’s pass to dink the ball over the onrushing Antonio Sivera.
Gundogan then fired in to double the away side’s lead after the break, before Samu Omorodion’s header for Alaves made it 2-1.
Substitute Victor Roque sealed victory when he converted Hector Fort’s cross, only to be sent off nine minutes later.
The 18-year-old Brazilian picked up two yellow cards in quick succession, but Barcelona were able to see out the final 18 minutes with 10 men for their third successive win in La Liga.
Barca remain third in the table, seven points behind leaders Real Madrid.
