                Barcelona make good on Madrid slip, close LaLiga gap

                Robert Lewandowski announced his return to fitness with a hat trick as Barcelona closed the gap to LaLiga leaders Real Madrid with an untidy 4-2 win away to Celta Vigo. The Catalan club took advantage of Madrid's goalless draw at Rayo Vallecano earlier in the day to move back into second place just three points behind. Lewandowski, who only last week returned in a brief substitute appearance after a muscle injury sidelined him for a month, scored his first goals for the club since the end of September. On-loan Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford claimed assists for two of Lewandowski's goals and also had a hand in Lamine Yamal's goal in first-half added time. Celta, who have drawn seven of their previous 11 matches, did not make life easy for them despite conceding a 10th-minute penalty. Fermin Lopez's shot was blocked by the hand of Marcos Alonso and even though goalkeeper Ionut Radu guessed the right way, diving to his left, Lewandowski's spot kick had too much power. Rashford should have doubled their lead less than a minute later but his shot was saved and 19 seconds later Sergio Carreira equalised, having sprung Barcelona's impossibly high line on halfway to race on to Borja Iglesias' through-ball. Barça retook the lead eight minutes before the break when Lewandowski turned in Rashford's cross from the right into the six-yard box. Again the hosts hit back, this time in some style, with Iglesias' shot from the edge of the penalty area beating Wojciech Szczesny for pace. However, they could not hold on to parity until half-time with Yamal firing home at the far post after Rashford's cross was deflected into his path. Rashford and Dani Olmo both had shots blocked as Barcelona continued to pile on the pressure before Lewandowski completed his hat trick, his first for Barça in over a year, in the 73rd minute to take his club tally to nine for the season. The Poland international met Rashford's inswinging corner at the near post and glanced a header across goal and inside the far post. It was the Englishman's sixth assist of the season, a better return than Yamal or Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior. The only downside to the performance was Frenkie de Jong's dismissal deep into added time for a second bookable offence.
