La Liga: FC Barcelona regained the top spot in La Liga with a dominant 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad at the Estadi Olimpic on Sunday. The match, which saw the visitors reduced to ten men in the 17th minute due to a red card for Aritz Elustondo, was never in doubt after Barcelona capitalized on their numerical advantage.
The win leaves Barcelona two points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of the table, with Real Madrid now three points behind following their loss to Betis the previous day.
Real Sociedad started with intent, creating a couple of early chances, including a disallowed goal and a shot that hit the crossbar, both from offside positions. However, their hopes of causing an upset were dashed when Elustondo received a red card after a foul on Dani Olmo. With over an hour left to play, the game was effectively decided in Barcelona's favor.
