Deportivo Alavés 1-3 FC Barcelona: summary, score, goals, highlights, LaLiga 23/24

Not what you would call a glittering performance from FC Barcelona in Vitoria tonight but one that gets the job done as Vitor Roque will, no doubt generate the headlines for his brief role in the action.

Goals from Lewandowski and Gundogan had the Catalan side ahead despite Alaves pulling one back through Samu.

The Brazilian was brought on in the 63rd minute, slotted home Barcelona’s third in the 67th and was awarded a second yellow card in the 72nd.
