Dani Olmo scored twice on his first start as he comes back from injury as Barcelona beat local rivals Espanyol 3-1 on Sunday to move nine points clear at the top of La Liga. Earlier Atletico Madrid eased to a 2-0 win over Las Palmas and moved third, with coach Diego Simeone\u2019s son Giuliano netting his first goal for the club.<\/p>\n

With second-place Real Madrid not in action after their game at Valencia was called off because of the devastating floods in the region, Hansi Flick\u2019s soaring Barcelona stretched their lead on the champions.<\/p>\n

Raphinha netted in between Olmo\u2019s goals as Barcelona racked up a three-goal lead by the 31st minute at the Olympic stadium.<\/p>\n

Javi Puado pulled one back as Espanyol fought hard to avoid a derby pummelling in the second half, with the visitors scoring three disallowed goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not happy about the second half\u2026 we lost concentration, lost tension, in tennis you say unforced errors, but it happens sometimes,\u201d admitted Flick.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I accept that because we won, but for Wednesday (in Europe) we need another level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barcelona have started life under Flick in sensational form and after beating Bayern Munich and Real Madrid last week cruised to victory against Manolo Gonzalez\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m back, enjoying it, playing, winning, and I want more,\u201d Olmo told DAZN after his first start since mid-September.<\/p>\n

Barca\u2019s marquee summer signing produced an electric display in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows how to score goals, this was very important for us today,\u201d Flick told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is also why we won this match, and these important three points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teenage Spain star Lamine Yamal crafted his first goal with a delicious pass using the outside of his boot, which Olmo dispatched with an explosive finish.<\/p>\n

Brazilian winger Raphinha lofted the second over Garcia when Marc Casado produced a fine pass which split Espanyol\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n

Olmo added his second with a powerful low drive but after that Barcelona were frustrated as neighbours Espanyol, 17th, battled well.<\/p>\n

After two Espanyol strikes were rules out for offside, Puado found the net and then had another goal ruled out as the ball had gone out of play.<\/p>\n

Injured Barcelona winger Ferran Torres, from Foios in the Valencia region, wrote in a post on Instagram that he did not have the strength to come to the stadium to watch the game because of the impact of the floods which have killed more than 210 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI totally understand that, it was normal,\u201d said Flick, who suggested on Saturday the whole round of fixtures should have been postponed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are things that are more important than football, he chose that and it\u2019s normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simeone success<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atletico coach Diego Simeone had said there was \u201cno sense\u201d in playing La Liga matches this weekend because of the floods, but his team secured a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n

Donations of food and other useful products were collected outside the Metropolitano stadium in support of those affected in the east of Spain by the floods which have killed more than 200 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy for my first goal for Atletico but we can\u2019t ignore everything that\u2019s happening in Valencia, all the victims there. I send my support and strength to them,\u201d said Giuliano Simeone.<\/p>\n

The hosts took the lead after 37 minutes when Nahuel Molina\u2019s long ball found Simeone darting in behind the defence.<\/p>\n

The striker, deployed on the right wing by his father, burst into the box and swept the ball into the far corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiuliano I see as a football player,\u201d said Diego Simeone.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the first moment that we decided he would stay with us (in the squad) this season, it\u2019s with the intention that he can help us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach explained that his son\u2019s workrate was a key factor in him starting.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a responsibility and not a name, I look at it that way\u2026 those who run most, play, and those who don\u2019t, play less,\u201d said the Argentine.<\/p>\n

Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis shared a 1-1 draw at San Mames.<\/p>\n

Pablo Fornals, born in Castellon which was affected by the floods, scored for Betis and spoke in tears on television after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was not a day to celebrate anything, neither football, nor goals,\u201d Fornals told DAZN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
