His 12th-minute strike from Roque Mesa’s assist means he has now scored in three consecutive games in Spain’s elite division since ending his 10-game barren spell.

Aside from holding sway as league leaders, Barcelona became the first side to win three times against the Cucumber Growers at Butarque.
Also, they are the side to have scored the most away goals against them in the Spanish elite division.
While the Morocco international was on parade from start to finish at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Nigeria’s Kenneth Omeruo saw 83 minutes of action as he was replaced by Rodrigo Tarin.
Porto loanee Chidozie Awaziem was only good for the substitute bench for the duration.
Leganes take their relegation battle to Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan as guests of fourth-placed Sevilla.
