Girona 0 Barcelona 3: Luis Suarez and two own-goals ensure Catalan giants maintain their 100 per cent record
BARCELONA kept up their perfect start to the season with a convincing 3-0 win over Girona.
The Catalan giants have now won six in a row, with two own-goals helping their cause.

Francisco Aday and Gorka Iraizoz to put through their own net as the Catalan giants secured a victory that cemented their four-point lead at the top of the table.
Luis Suarez powered home his 87th Barcelona goal on his 100th club appearance after the break, and even prompted Iraizoz’s own goal with a cute stepover.
But Lionel Messi drew a rare blank, leaving own goals accounting for Barcelona’s second-highest goals haul behind their free-scoring Argentina talisman.
Messi already boasts nine league strikes this term, but now Barcelona have benefited from three own goals in the new campaign.
Barcelona’s victory restored a four-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid, with big rivals Real Madrid trailing by seven.

Former Betis midfielder Ceballos capped his league debut for Real with a smart first-half brace that set Zidane's men back to winning ways.
The 21-year-old was reported to have been frustrated to remain an unused replacement as Real lost 1-0 to his former club Betis on Wednesday night.
But at Mendizorroza Ceballos set any moans aside to put Real back on track in their title defence, despite Manu Garcia's fierce headed equaliser and substitute Alfonso Pedraza twice hitting the post for the hosts.
