Barcelona dominates Alaves 3-0, Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick securing vital LaLiga victory.

Robert Lewandowski's stunning hat-trick propelled Barcelona to a convincing 3-0 victory at Alaves, reinstating their three-point advantage at the top of LaLiga.

After Real Madrid temporarily drew level with Hansi Flick's side following their win over Villarreal on Saturday, Barcelona asserted their dominance from the start. Lewandowski's early header from Raphinha's precise delivery set the tone.

The 36-year-old Polish forward doubled his tally with a close-range finish, courtesy of Raphinha's clever assist. His third goal came via Eric Garcia's pass, sealing Barcelona's triumph.

Lewandowski has now scored 12 goals in 11 games across all competitions, with Barcelona averaging over three goals per game in LaLiga this season.

“We played well from the first minute, and our aim was to attack and score,” Lewandowski said post-match. “We controlled the game better in the second half. Our team dynamic is excellent, and we've improved on our previous shortcomings.”

Alaves threatened sporadically but had a potential goal ruled out for offside on the stroke of halftime.
